I can't imagine the traffic delays and accidents if we had an intersection like that here. The fucking idiots in my city have enough trouble driving in a straight line

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.�

the fucking idiots around here don't know how to handle a 4-way stop-sign intersection. gosh, even a 2-way makes them nervous. and they say massholes are crazy drivers. crazy bad.


be more aggressively decisive, damn it.

The Brits do have weird hobbies...my father is one of them. He is interested in Cold War history and ended up coming across a load of work on the internet from a group of people basically investigate any hole in the ground. Bunkers, tunnels, etc. I was studying the Cold War at the time and one of their meetings was being held at an old nuclear bunker (yeah, this place!) so it was of potential interest to both of us. Some of their talks, and speakers, were so intensely dull I just can't describe. One guy spoke for almost an hour (with passion!) about the workings of air conditioning units in a subterranean environment during the event of a nearby nuclear strike. *yawn* If it weren't for the fact we arrived late and were in the front row we'd have got up and left...The tourists version of the bunker tour was interesting though we left their meetings at lunch.

I can remember reading in the newspaper about a website documenting electricity pylons.

I've driven it a few times. I lived not far from Swindon but never went there (cos it's shite) although when I was learning to drive my mother said we should go there and deliberately plotted to send me through the Magic Roundabout

Americans just don't know how to deal with roundabouts/traffic circles because there aren't many of them. Pity as they keep flow going much better than endless traffic lights

I'm horribly drunk right now, but I seriously can't figure out how that thing is sopposed to work.
