A black traffic circle is a region of the street/time continuum that curves so much that even light traffic cannot escape it.

Traffic circles. That reminds me. In Hollywood Florida, they have had traffic circles from at least the 50s. BUT, one of the larger, busier ones has traffic lights on it also. In sequence, the circle stops for North, West, South, then East traffic entering the circle. Is this done in Europe also? I am now going to have to check the other Hollywood Circles to see if they also have lights.

Yes: many roundabouts in the UK also have traffic lights, this is directly outside where I work at Sunbury Cross; underneath the end of the M3:-

There are lights at every "sub" junction you can see traffic waiting at most of them.

Actually, the story behind Speedo's is that they started with children's swim wear with one size fits all. And that was it, they haven't changed.

News reporter: "Sadly, if this were in Mexico it would be a Mexican Stand-off, however, here in Milan, this is an Italian Stand-off."

"In other news, the last traffic engineering school in Italy was closed by Parliament last week."

...."and as you have been promised, tonight's headliner: "Giant Santa Claus appears at local department store. King Kong disguised as a Santa Claus has climbed to the roof of the white multi-story jewelry store shown in the photo. Traffic continues around this as normal..."

If it was Italy, wouldn't you see people standing up in open sunroofs rotating the right arm with upraised forearm caught by the left hand to stop the right hand in a friendly gesture, with a Fiamm chorus?

Coming soon from Microsoft: Windows 10 for Traffic Lights, fixes 20K bugs from Windows 8 for Traffic Lights, is 10% less likely to crash, and 30% less likely to lock up!

(Yes, they skipped right over Windows 9 for Traffic Lights, make up your own jokes for that.)

I don't think so. Based on the Florida snowbird Canadians we see, they would all be in the left most lane, going too slow, and wearing Speedos that are way too small.

The result of an attempt by an old lady to smuggle her little dog named "Ballsitch" onto the bus under her coat. As the dog struggled, the lady exclaimed "Ballsitch!", to which the buss driver, who was reaching into his pocket , replied "No lady, just getting your change".

"Buss" driver corrected to Bus driver. Where busses in parallel, are better measured with an AC meghohm meter, due to capacitance or something like that......

You mean parallel parking for busses?

Who knows, maybe someday, there will be busses with people traveling "on them" through conduits. It sounds a bit jetsonish, and it probably complete rubbish.
