New Ways to View our Transparencies

I’m sure it’d work even better if Roger Numbers was back. I miss him so.

Bike Lanes: Three Feet Wide and Riding

  • and said:

As much as I love the Zebra bump idea for biking, it recently occurred to me that they could be disastrous for motorcycles. A car running over them will get a warning. A motorcycle (or scooter, even) riding over them could be very nasty. I still love the concept, but they’ve got to be extremely visible.

A Tremendous Waste of Time and Money Comes to a Just and Long-overdue End (Franken FTW)

  • and said:

Dear Hawkeye,Google is a search engine. Googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. If you wanted to use a really big number, try saying “the Ackermann function with Graham’s Number as the arguments.” It’s a really astoundingly large number, and sounds impressive! (serisously, look them up, or ask a mathematician sometime.) Why, people might even forget that Iowa lost the recipe for ice. Hope this helps!Your friendly neighbor to the north,TheDourSalmonp.s. I’m one of the 312, as I managed to get into the polling place with literally 30 seconds to spare. If I’d hit a red light, it would have been 311.

Fifty Cars Equals One Bus

  • and said:

ah yes, anonymous. “Five cars equal one bus in street space but one tenth of a bus in passenger capacity” is so much better! Snappy! Punchy! It rolls right of the tongue.Oh wait no. It’s way worse. (and who the hell cares about physical space on the actual street?) This is a great campaign.

Does this Guy’s Beating Mean We Already Live in a Fascist Police State, or Did He Have It Coming?

  • and said:

As distasteful as I find his personal politics, and as much as I see him participating in the wanton destruction in the fabric of the community, I gotta support his right not to get his ass beat. I mean seriously now, America. Not cool.Also, GOOD, I don’t think it’s appropriate to suggest that “he had it coming.” Regardless of how we crazy godless liberals may have been treated in leaner years, I really don’t want to see anyone suggesting that it’s okay to violate someone’s constitutional rights (not to mention face) just because they are scummy bastards. (Or scummy bastards that happen to talk back to the cops. I mean it’s stupid, but that’s not hardly an excuse.)Also, and I know this ain’t the forum for it, but Bring Back Roger Numbers Already! Who’s with me? I know I’ve got some fellow BBRNA-ites out there.
