So he is the one that started this circumcision tradition.

I was circumcised shortly after birth and could not walk for a year!

Not only that, they used a pair of 'pinking shears" making me a Frilly Dilly.

I had to watch this one twice, and I'm thinking about just putting it on a continuous loop.

"The train trestle prominently featured in all the videos here has earned a reputation for its unrelenting enforcement of the laws of physics."

Fur,
pls give me your opinion on this amazing mess:
- is the top too low?
- or is the ground too high?

Murilo,

Obviously some people are overinflating their tires! ...lol

The person with the website said he has set up two cameras to record video of the bridge, and he has now apparently captured over 60 incidents in around 6 years.

On top of all the damaged vehicles, all those crashes can't be too good for the bridge, either, and I've read they've even re-inforced the side being hit with a steel beam to help protect it - for it would be rather hard to divert train traffic to rebuild the thing. You'd think, then, that they would just lower the road so it was no longer a problem, but I've also read that the sewer runs underneath the road and so that, too, would be a major undertaking.

Apparently a lot of the trucks crashing into the thing are rented moving vans and so the drivers may not be used to having to think about going under bridges and the height of their vehicle - and so they apparently just ignore the yellow warning signs and bright flashing warning lights.

With all that video evidence, though, you would think that someone could make a very good argument for doing something, at least. Otherwise someone could really get hurt or even killed someday, it would seem.

I believe the simplest and quickest solution that I've seen mentioned would be to hang a sign at the same height as the bridge a good distance before the bridge for people to hit as a bit of a foretaste of what could be ahead of them

...or, I know, maybe use a laser and sensor as a vehicle height detector with something like a railroad crossing gate to lower in front of them for them to crash through also!

...lol

Dwayne,
this stupid stuff happens also at SP, specially in some avenues where large transport trucks are passing.
The structures are all done in concrete and we can see all the scars... 8(
Worst is what happens with the transit... 8((

Murilo,

Ouch. It doesn't sound too good about the transit.

Well, even with everyone's best efforts, accidents are still going to happen, I guess.

That reminded me of something. My dad was an over-the-road trucker and drove a big rig tractor and trailer. He even won an award for having had 3.5 MILLION safe driving miles, but he still managed to damage two of our family cars while trying to back them out of the driveway. ...lol

The first time he was in my brother's car backing and turning and hit the cast iron pole to our basketball goal, putting a huge dent in the front fender. The second time he backed directly into the very same pole with the Buick, but that time it snapped the cast iron in two and dropped the basketball goal and backboard directly onto the trunk lid - making quite a dent, I might add.

Of course, we had to rib him about it fairly often. He could handle one of those huge big rig trucks for millions of miles, but he wasn't able to back a little car out of the driveway.

...lol

Of course, I'll not talk about my driving. I'll let someone else do that someday.

Health warning!!! Do not shampoo in the shower!

DO NOT wash your hair in the shower!! It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!! IT INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER WITH IT. WARNING TO US ALL!!! Shampoo Warning! I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME." No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn dish-washing Soap. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE." Problem solved! If I don't answer the phone, I'll be in the shower!

For all of you in education, with sons, grandsons, or who just love the things little kids say ~ a reminder that adult words are often taken literally.....

'Circumcised' (this is priceless!)

A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and was not paying attention.

She went back to find out what was going on.

He was quite embarrassed, and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised, and he was quite itchy down there.

The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office.

He was to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did, and returned to his class.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room.

She went back to investigate, only to find him sitting at his desk with his 'private part' hanging out.

'I thought I told you to call your mom!' she said.

'I did,' he said, 'And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school.

I have a new neighbor,She's single and very attractive to say the least!
She lives right across the road. I can see her place from my deck.

I watched as she got home from work this evening.
I was surprised when she walked across the
street and up my driveway and
knocked on my door.

I rushed to open it, she looks at me and says, "I just got home, and I am so horny! I have this strong urge to have a good time, get drunk, and make love all night long! Are you busy tonight?"

I quickly replied, "Nope, I'm free, I have no plans at all!"
She said, "Great! Could you watch my dog?"

Being a senior citizen really sucks!
