Pickens, president of rocket-design firm Orion Propulsion, created his first rocket bike with fellow speed enthusiast Glenn May by bolting a 35-pound-thrust rocket engine to Pickens's bike -- enough power for a gentle push down the road.
That project didn't kill anyone, so Pickens got himself another bike and stepped it up, attaching a 200-pound-thrust engine capable of blasting him from 0 to 60 miles an hour in five seconds -- fast enough to beat a Porsche in a drag race.
that's actually rather cute. and to think they are civil enough not to poop in the station. we humans should be ashamed of ourselves for littering everywhere.
Cute. But, (with a disclaimer that I am not saying all people in Russia are like this) I do find it a bit sad that some of the people seem to tolerate and even enjoy the presence of animals, more so than they would humans of different races/ethnicities/sexualities.

here is your answer : "they are civil enough not to poop in the station. we humans should be ashamed of ourselves for littering everywhere."
Awww. If they want to control their feral dog population, they could adopt a program to capture and neuter/spay as many of the dogs as they can. Also educate people about doing that to pets and not releasing them in to the wild when they're no longer wanted.
@ LisaL I glanced past your comment really quickly and thought you said they should capture and neuter spy dogs...that would be a very interesting comment about dogs in the USSR.
When I lived in Archangel in North Russia the stray dogs were not cute. I had to take the taxi if I bought roasted chicken, because the stray dogs would attack my groceries if walked home.
Couldn't take the bus, cause there were stray dogs in the bus... not really. I hate dogs
They do the same in Buenos Aires. I am not sure they use the metro for a ride downtown but they use it to keep warm in the winter. Normally, people do not mind and they let them have their nap in peace...

Yes, but there are 35,000 stray dogs in Moscow, how are you going to do that? Only 500 live in subway stations, and of them, only 20 ride the trains. A few even take the escalators. Above ground they have been seen crossing the street with the signals.

You tied that up very nicely. Thanks :)

And I have to say that many stations are quite beautiful, as well.
