I don't think you have to explain 'idiot lights'.

We might one day [:/], at the rate were going, unless natural selection steps up and embraces intelligence as part of its process.

Not even to an idiot?


You have to explain everything to an idiot. [:/]:ph34r:

That's when he becomes a stupid fucker. :ph34r:

The glove compartment is inaccurately named



I thought over there it was a Glock compartment.

But moving swiftly on before this thread gets sent to another forum, I guess driving gloves have been on the decline ever since cars came with roofs - but still I remember my parents using them when we were kids. I guess they finally became unneccessary when they replaced those hard, cold, slippery steering wheels with the soft, padded ones.

So I was bored driving home from somewhere, and my mind was wandering...

If a "speedometer" measures speed,
then does an odometer measure ods?
Does a tachometer measure tachs?
How come the fuel gauge isn't a fuelometer?

Just wondering...



tach- is the root for "speed" (from the Greek). Tachycardia is the medical term for rapid heartbeat.

Other kinds of meters that are fun to say, especially if you can say them correctly:

sphygmomenometer

anemometer

(this could segue right into the "fun words" thread!) ;)


... and of course those word should be followed by, "doot DOO doo doo doot!" :D:D
