Why Norwegian Drive Safe

Why Norwegian Drive Safe
These Are All Over The Place

According to “experts,” the absolutely safest roads in the world can be found in Norway, with the Nordic nation scoring an impressive 8.21 out of 10 on the study. Indeed, in Norway, only 2.7 people out of every 100 000 die in road accident per year, as opposed to, for example, 11.0 deaths per 100,000 per year in America.

But why is this so? The answer is, of course, both easy and not directly related to anything involving cars, roads, or driving. It’s a matter of linguistics and the polyglot norm of the Norwegians. Face it, anyone who can read English is going to slow down when approaching a fartsdumper (speed bump), and they’re all over the place.

Too Late For Easter

Too Late For Easter – Poor Bunny

Poor bunny. OUCH! But then, this sort of mistaken timing is bound to happen, since Easter is based upon a lunar-solar hybrid calendar – the date of Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox – whereas our normal, everyday calendar has been solely solar-based in the West since 45 BC!

But, as an odd side note, this poor bunny could have been saved this year by simply stating that you’re celebrating Easter under the auspices of the Eastern or Oriental Orthodox calendars. Easter this year for them is on the 24th of April, not the 17th. 😛

From hopeful question, to statement, to eager demand. 😆 Yep! We’re like that. But then, so are a supposedly large-ish number of women too. 😉

Te Văd Tremurând Cu Decapitare

Somehow so appropriate, given that Dr. Frank N. Furter was from planet Transexual in the Transylvania galaxy. 😉 OK, maybe I could have made it better by captioning it in Turkish, instead of Romanian. But I can fight may through Romanian, whereas my Turkish really sucks.

What Happened To Our Future

Posted in Society on April 20th, 2022

What happened to our future, the future what was promised to my generation by so many optimistic futurists, Hollywood, and the media? Where are my flying cars? This is a fairly common question among Baby Boomers And Gen X’ers. It’s even the basis for a few memes among the younger generations.

A refocus and general decline in the quality of people led to things like Demi Lovato singing to the ghost of a whore in an effort to help it overcome its “sexist trauma” is what happened to our promised future.
