Isn't there like a dozen movies that have been "inspired" by this guy.

I love watching firemen movies with my dad since he's always grumbling and complaining about all the little details that they get wrong .

He's finnish equivalent to a Fire Marshal himself.

Damn wireless crashed.

Otherwise I'd have been here 2 hours and 10 minutes ago.

Speaking of Fire Marshals...

I need to find an old In Living Color skit- not a Fire Marshal Bill one, but rather one of the ones with the Wayans family acting like Jamaicans, with Keenan as the father. Each skit revolves around the premise that Jamaicans are hard workers...to the extreme. Anyone with only 2 jobs gets called a "lazy bum" and is compared to the rest of the family, each of whom have 5 to 10+ jobs each.

I ask because my Mom quoted that skit at someone unfamiliar with it who happens to be an extremely hard worker...and the other person may actually be insulted.

D'ja ever notice how many serial killers get caught because of bad driving?

I mean, if they drove less, they'd get caught less, and continue to roam free.

I swear, its like Kennedys and airplanes...

Bad driving isn't the only way.

I remember there was a case of a truck driver that raped some women. Using the data from the German toll collect for commercial transport vehicles (trucks and stuff ), they eventually found enough data to find a suspect.

Of course, this is also a problematic aspect of the entire thing. While generally, if data is used to solve a crime, we look mostly positive on it, but we have to keep in mind that this data is basically private information on you that the government executive is now using for other purposes other then its original one. Theoretically, nothing could stop the system from collecting data on every driver on the German Autobahn (or at least every car/license number, which of course can be linked back to a limited amount of people, primiarly the car holder)

Not to mention the possible mistakes. There was some "road user survey" thingy a few months back where they had taken the licence numbers from cars on a certain road and asked about the driving experience or something. Anyways, I got this survey and basically it said that my car with licence ***-*** (which was correctly my plate) had been spotted at the road in question at 9:30 am at (some date)... The only problem: I know exactly where my car was that time and it sure as hell wasn't on that road. It was on a parking lot at my workplace, right below my window.

I considered sending an angry letter demanding to know who was driving my car and why, or some reprimend for these blatant lies that I'd have been driving there...

Anyone happen to have outlines for a map of generally "roundish" island?

Hey all and Morning, Hive!

Relique, have you got a link to that M&M game you were talking about? I think I've missed it.

We put our Xmas decorations up last night, huzzah!

I guess. . . really. . . I should have just let this one go. Because my response is in really, really poor taste. But I couldn't resist.

Keenedys and airplanes? That gives me an idea!
