Wow.

Just-

Wow.

1.700+ft? Man I skydived from lower altitudes and was VERY glad to have that 'chute on my back and be transported up by aircraft to start with. And then I see these guys just climb up just like that- Respect.

I mean- walking 2.000ft is nothing. But climbing even half that distance with a heavy pack straight up on a ladder is murder for your limbs...!

2 things:

- Seeing this- Why the hell does it take my carshop so freaking long to take apart and reassemble my car if there is some minor problem underneath...?

- I pray that the Taliban won't ever catch these Canadians alive so they can learn that trick from them- That would be even worse than all those IEDS's they use now...

Nice paintjob!
It's got a real summery feeling to it.

So? Some of my girlfriends back in the days of hardcore punk in the late '70's and early '80's with the safetypins through the ears and cheeks and all that stuff did exactly the same thing. And even then not many people really looked up.

75?

Hm, so I guess the thing I now perceive as happiness and contentment is an illusion, because my wife and I earn about 2/3's of that and we feel perfectly happy with it.

"Presumably Princess Leia has the grace not to get kicked out of the store for ordering this way."

Small defining difference here-

- The princess just looked cute
- The professor just was a pain in the ass.

I work in a cultural institution where we have gender-separated restrooms. I can tell you that there is not one inch difference in cleanliness between the two toiletgroups. Behind both entrances from time to time we do wonder (yet often definitely do NOT want to know...) what in the world has happened there so fitly groce and raunchy it has become within thirty minutes. And it does not matter if it is a bunch of schoolkids, or some governmental ceo's or a gathering of cops or religious employees or whatever that has visited our facility - they all can be as filthy as the next- no general difference whatsoever.

The time females spend in the restrooms is on average about two thirds to three quarters longer compared to the males. That alone would be enough reason to have separated restrooms.
Yet we find also that females use restrooms differently from males. Males just get in there, do their business, wash hands and split. Females use the restrooms not only to do their toilet-business, but also to freshen up, do their make-up, redo their hai, sometimes even to change their clothes or just to rest and retake themselves before they get back into their activities. For females the restroom often is a place to have social interaction. If males have social interaction, it can be for shady deals, do punch eachothers lights out or to have same-sex contacts. But mostly males do not have or even try to avoid social contacts in the restrooms.

Those are all reasons why there is logic to gender-separation of restrooms.

I'd like to see that done with one of them full-fledged hospital beds. When that goes wrong, they can just say "nooo just stay right where you are, we'll just hook up the machines"and roll you back to the ic...

In the Netherlands we have Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau. This is Belgian territory well within the Dutch (Netherlands) borders. Yet within this piece of fine Belgian real-estate, there are some 22 Dutch patches of land.

...But Fight We Shall....!!!!

Oh crap- We're humans and that's what we do.

Ah thnx for giving the formula- That's the one I missed / lacked my whole life up until now.

Now let me please continue on the formula to get drunk and wasted before I looked to long at that pattern....

Not shop'd.

Awesome.

So his nickname from now on is

Sparky!!!!!!!!

:lol:

ohhoho Even the English numbersystem is more descriptive than the Germanic numbersystem.

English say Fifty One (fif = 5 ty = ten) - meaning Fifty plus One.
Germans say Ein und Fünfzig meaning One and Fifty just like is done in English from 13 to nineteen.

Now try to remember telephonenumbers in both languages, like say

0117 - 4513259

Lots of people would somehow split up the number to remember it- like say 0117 45 132 59

In English you would just say like
zero one one seven forty five hundred thirty two fifty nine
However you say it- The numerical order will never change

Yet in German or like in this example in Dutch (same as in German) it coul0d become:

zero hundred seven teen five and forty hundred two and thirty nine and fifty.

That is why we see far more number-dyslectia in Germanic-lingual countries than in Anglish-lingual countries.
