I think it also makes the US's mere 1-0 loss to Germany seem all the more impressive.

Is there a reason this top photo shows the wing mirrors halfway down the hood?

Honestly? Use of "because ___" here doesn't even make sense. At this point I think you're consciously doing it just to be a twat.

Thanks for the reasonable reply (no sarcasm, actual thanks), but I'm not sure I believe that. Could you provide a reference? [Edit: sorry, I meant this rhetorically. The wiki I link to provides some references, and discusses limitations of both points]

I don't understand the passion for preserving the name, apart from a stubborn owners:

The name is a *tribute* to the people from the Boston Tea Party that dressed as Indians to dump the tea in the harbor and start the American Revolution.

Am I wrong in thinking that soccer might be a sport that would most lend itself to men and women playing professionally, alongside, on the same team? It's a sport that rewards athleticism, endurance, speed, and skill, with less emphasis on body mass than others. Perhaps?

I would imagine they had to be careful not to use a bike, lest they cross first and ruin the whole damn thing. Hehehe, the thought of that actually makes me smile.

"crossing the Channel Tunnel at an average speed of 40 mph."

Anyone else surprised it took this long? I'd have thought someone would have biked it years ago.

Your co-worker's ex-wife is a whore.

His hand, dude.

Doesn't this fall under the MAD Magazine -type right to satire (if that)?

Well, this is the rate, perhaps, that they are actually ticketed, yes - but the implication by the article is that these are the most and least targeted cars.

Agreed - this is how they seem to work most places I've lived. Also, depending on the shape of the intersection, the timers can be hard to spot, or blocked by the timer's hood.

"...drivers actually just tailgate more aggressively to race through before the light changes."
