Oops, my bad.

Are you sure it's supposed to be Irish? Given Guy Fawkes Night was an attempt at blowing up the British houses of parliment, the Irish celebrating it seems as odd as Australians celebrating thanksgiving.

Do these pieces of kit hibernate over the dark months and restart when there's enough light to get them running?

The child was perfectly happy, it is however animal abuse. Being crammed in an ass crack no matter how sweaty and subsequently dragged past an elasticated waistband cannot have been good for any amphibian.

That mortgage doesn't really seem /that/ bad, most couples in the uk are paying at least $2000/mo on their mortgage. As for the rest of their problems (points and laughs).

The only possible "eco" use of this would be to reoxygentate the water underneath the bridge. Think of it as a giant fish tank bubbler, only without the plastic skulls.

But yeah, eco piss-away-electricity-for-a-tourist-attraction isn't going to be the new friendly buzzword anytime soon.

The wind resistance with all that crap on the back must be phenominal. I suspect he's getting gallons to the mile.

I had thought the flags on the back were countries which had forgotten (i.e. just about all of them now) but I suspect Geekazoid is probably right, they're ones that didn't join in on the war on terror. Which is mildly ironic given the USA, Ireland and the UK are on that, as until recently the USA was funding Irish terrorism in the UK.

Given there are four possible answers, you did do pretty well! If there were only two then you'd have done rather averagely :)

It's a very neat idea, though in the UK, you're not allowed to have /any/ blue lights on your vehicle (as they're reserved for the emergency services). I wonder how long before some busy body tells them off for it.
I'd also make it more obvious that it was the speed on your back. When I initially saw that, I thought that it was an automatically updating position jersy for the tour de france etc.

If crows can learn from their peers, I wonder if dogs can. Are the other three going to be chimneying their way up chicken wire next week?

I doubt it means much to anyone outside the USA other than an inconvenience to their travel forever more. Sadly I fear that that and the laughable war on terror are going to be the lasting memories from the event, not the thousands who lost their lives.

Or perhaps people were just too busy thinking the world would disappear into a black hole on the 10th of Sept to notice what happened when it didn't.

Man, I want a subscription to wallpaper magazine.

For all the yanks, in English "fanny" actually meas vagina. I doubt Hitler was quite /that/ enthusiastic with his groping.

I thought it was a reference to the fact that Johnson & Johnson test their beauty products on animals. Whilst I'd say it's necessary for medical research, dripping shampoo into rabbit's eyes to see if they go blind just isn't cool.

Good on the old duffer. Even better that his wife doesn't mind him "cheating" on her when he goes to work.
