@Prospero, he was still on the tracks when he was done pushing the car, and because the car was in his way he would have had to go around the car to get away from the train. To get back to the side he came from he just had to turn around and go. He's not so stupid after all.
Well, when I'm not home I'm uploading pictures of anything that moves in my home to a web server, so you'd better wear a mask if you're going to rob me.
So the only acceptable options for you are killing the cat or chopping off it's leg, chriswww? A prosthetic knee joint is just completely unacceptable? Would you say the same if it were a person?
By the way, if you follow the link and read the article- you know, actually look into things before you make judgments- you'll see that amputating the leg was not an option because the opposite leg was broken in 8 places.
It's probably not accident proof but it's definitely an idea worth exploring. "The atomic boy scout" made a homemade reactor using thorium from mantles bombarded with radium from luminous clock faces.
Yes, illegal, but not hurting anyone. Therefore a warning not to do it again would suffice. Speeding in a car isn't really a good analogy because this is a slow moving vehicle on a fixed track. It's not going to skid off the road at 100 mph and hurt someone. I know some might say "but IF a train came..." My dad always said "IF your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle."
They knew that there was no train traffic scheduled on the tracks and the residents in the area also knew. Sounds like the situation warrants a good talking to and not an arrest.
I just wonder if the thing is light enough for the occupants to quickly lift it up and get it off the tracks if needed.
@Darklordxnew You say "I'm claiming that the entire system is retarded, and I refuse to participate in it." but that is not true.
Refusing to participate would be avoiding restaurants that have table service because you are expected to tip.
You are participating, but participating very badly. The waiter has agreed to accept a lower wage for waiting on you with the expectation that you will pay for your service, and then you cheat him by not paying for the service. That would be like a student letting you tutor him for an hour and then handing you a $5 bill.
