So... The real problem is distance-per-charge. Nothing more than that. I've got an idea; let's work on distance-per-charge and revisit this in ten years.

I found the lack of headlights, the presence of tail lights and the lack of a steering wheel to be more persuasive. That, plus thinking about it. But now that you mention the mirrors; clinch!

I wonder what the miles-per-fatality ratio is with these. Or any car, for that matter.

All cars should have extended "black boxes" to track the most recent two minutes or so. It helps immensely when an authority figure (be it dad, junior or politician) invents a no-mia-culpa account.

Lambo recall?

As I was zipping along in the Shanghai mag-lev at incredible speeds, I wondered what would have happened if a pelican had decided to rest on the flat guide path a few seconds before impact.

Another way to simulate LensBaby effects is in this collection of Photoshop Actions. Here is a sample. You have control over smear, focus and strength of effect elements. Google "Actions Photoshop CS5 ebook".

A bad chip can often function within spec, producing an unwanted harmonic or narrow-band "leak" of radio or microwave on a per-sample flaw basis. Combine that with an error in the miles of wiring in your local…

Pen and paper. The new "texting." Or would that be the "original.."

Have any other Angelinos noticed this? BMW drivers seem to take the ads too seriously. They seem to be the first who gun up to 80 by the time they pass—and that from a tailgating start!

"The Grace of God" is a technical term, newly adopted by the International Forum For Instant Explanations, IFFIE, and it replaces the stupid, opaque, old term "center of gravity" which, as all school children know, has absolutely nothing to do with relative comedic intent.

"...went faster than a Space Shuttle—which is doing its slowest speed."

Why no 7th and 8th wheels? Or just coat the entire side of the body from bumper to bumper with various size wheels. All wheels; all the time. wheeee........................................l!

I think this is an orange and green Feri. Turquoise is closer to cyan and has virtually no orange in it.

How they got it in: They simply turned the van 90° and drove it in.
