    By the time we get people to stop using their phones while driving, we will have self driving driving cars, allowing us to use our phones while driving.

    Note to self, don't learn useful information. Instead, learn how to pretend very well.

    While it's true that money can't buy happiness or love, with enough of it you can afford the kind of misery or heartache you like best.

    If this is true then some of the ones in NYC are the only roller coasters in the world where the riders scream on the flat parts...

    Fun fact: NYC Transit never inspects their tracks for defects that can cause derailments. Legally it should be done often but they just don't. If they start now it'll take until 2060 to fully inspect them all.

    Source: I was in the rail inspection business.

    I'm trying to avoid the obvious innuendo here...

    I was walking out the door at 3:15p after getting in this morning at 5a, with no break and was asked to just stay a bit longer so someone could leave early. FFS.

    Yet they still manage to have some of those combinations as "limited time items"

    You’re not born with knee caps, they don't develop until 2-4 years old. Lol

    Ooo, that reminds me of a good one.
    You're born with around 270 bones, but they fuse together as you age and you end up with 206 as an adult. That's why babies have a "soft spot" because the skull bones haven't fused yet.

    It’s a good thing money isn’t orange or rappers would have a harder time rapping about it.
