It's funny how people in the news try to blame the recent massacre on lax gun control laws. If anything, those 30 people died because of gun control laws being too strict. This is exactly what happens when the country tries to babysit its citizens and does a poor job of it. If at least 1 of those de...

I was very happy last night, because for the first time ever I experienced the joy of the "Low Fuel" Icon on my console lighting up. Although all of my previous cars had the indicator, none of them worked, and I was too lazy to change the bulb. So I figured it'd be interesting how is it wi...

I don't know, but isn't Time just a human invention anyway? Isn't it just a perceptual filter which allows us to organize events? Or does it exist independently? Danget, I'm having flashbacks of Philosophy class. Kant? One of those guys talked about perceptual filters... Time is a byproduct of freq...

I hate when people spell 'grammar' as 'grammer'...

How about:

'pronounciation' (should be 'pronunciation'), even though 'pronounce' is spelt with an 'ou'.

You sure that's the radius and not the diameter?

My car has to be one of the worst cars when it comes to manuverability in tight spaces - there are times when I feel like I'm driving a truck. I decided to start a thread to see if there are others. List the length/width of your car, and turn radius (you can find the specs for your car here: http://...

Yeah that's the one. It's been around for a long time now...

The only way to prevent that is driving at a crawling speed - it will take you longer to get where you're going, but I'd rather be a little late, than end up with a f*cked up body...

Definitely a manual driver

LOL my friend failed the driving test because (among other things) she didn't enter the intersection/wait in the middle for a break in traffic to make the left turn (you are never going to turn if you don't do that), and another failed the test because she was the second car in. oFficial rule: only...

Check out this cool chase. I actually ended up rooting for the criminal:

It's the mind-boggling choice of either staying behind the white box and having people honking and yelling at you or breaking the law and going into the intersection. Honestly, it's gets to be a pretty hard choice when you're in the si...
