Just great. Again, we're screwing around with with Darwin's perfectly workable scheme.

Eventually, we'll all be so stupid that no one will survive.

I'm with you here Bud!

Birth-rates & population-growth among the illiterate being far higher than those that can read signs. Therefore it will be those who cannot read signs that out-compete us, (the literate minority).
Pardon me, but I just finished reading an Edward Abbey book. I obviously feel doomed.
Regarding the measure of a species intelligence, didn't Darwin ramble on something about "ability to adapt". Maybe we're not so smart.

Back in the good ole days, the kids with peanut allergies died off before grade-2... good! ...and I'm personally against kids wearing helmets of any kind. In my day kids just had to be tough! Us kids HAD to ride in the back of the open pick-up (part of the thinning process)
Stick with the old methods and those who reach working age will have very high survival skills. We won't need that company safety guy around, (except to buy food for the safety meetings).

You mistake having to be told not to be stupid with with pain common sense. Protecting one's self (or one's progeny) from injury and or poisoning amounts, in my book, to no more than informed common sense.

At Vail, there's a small outhouse that's to your right when you unload the Orient Express lift.

It says (styling the sign from a video I made):


PRIMITIVE OUTHOUSE

MODERN
FACILITIES
LOCATED AT
TWO ELK

I'm sure everyone bought a can of this sometime in their life. With different labeling, of course. And, you found out what you got only after opening it.

Not here. No hidden ingredients in Romanian food products.

That's GOOD. An unfortunate translation to be sure. What does the name actually mean? Brand name?

And that's in New York? I remember them cracking down on low-riding pants some years ago.

Just a homograph. It's the Romanian word for CARP, the content is carp roe salad, a very popular dish here.
For unfortunate use of English words in Romanian, stay tuned.

Having lived in Asia for the past 15 years try the site below for things I see daily :(

Two drinks I have seen on the selves in Korea. Cool Pis (orange juice) and Human Water (sport hydration drink)

[Razvan]

Help yourshelves with any of that. Still, I'm really curious about the drinks in North Korea.

These stores are in the capital city of my department, Ploiești. Picture was taken in 2007, I was passing by recently and saw both stores in exactly the same condition. The owner of the right one is either a nonchalant nonEnglish speaker, or a quipster happily grinning at his pink-leathered customettes.

1. Someone needs to reverse that arrow.

2. Someone's being Captain Obvious, or people are really retarded

3. Putting up a "Private Sign - DO NOT READ" requires writing text, genius whoever installed it.

4. Classic

5. So if I'm walking along the road and the law says I must move to the shoulder for a car, what do I do when there are flesh-eating alligators?

I was riding up Outback Express at Keystone the other day and couldn't help but notice that on the downhill side of the towers there's a yellow triangle that I kid you not says "Caution Lift Tower."

Thanx - I'll take the bus to O'Hare.
