    Union Pacific Big Boy 4014

    UP runs on some of the longest and steepest lines in the North American continent so they needed those huge engines... they still do. Those heavier oils are like tar until they're heated to make them more like liquid, as I understand it. Modern diesel-electric trains are very fuel efficient -...

    The History of Toilet Paper.

    I was told by people serving in the British army in the Middle East that they had to make do with one square per 'visit'... with that square to clean their finger. You guys remember that scene in Dances With Wolves where the diary crucial to proving his innocence is used as paper by two...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    Well yeah, they want it both ways depending on which attitude is more beneficial to them. Think how Destiny's Child sang that they were 'Independent Women' who bought their own shoes and car and bling... and then in the next song they wanted 'A Soldier', a man who gonna stand up for me.

    Have you went to any Opening days??

    I worked an opener... my first ever job was as a host for an Old Orleans restaurant (a terrible British misinterpretation as to what American cuisine - specifically Southern - was, in restaurant form) and the shopping centre itself was new too. We did our training while there were still wires...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    :laugh2: You're crazy! They weren't gentlemen because they didn't rush to your aid when you decided to walk across some ice taking little FooFoo (sorry, 'Marty') to the dogwasher? I'm still not sure what you were expecting them to have done to help you. Maybe they were watching to make sure...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    They're trying to make a point, so they've picked the best profiles to help their view. But so many of the American ones sound familiar. The number of profiles I've seen that start with (or indeed, are nothing but) a list of what qualities the man must have and not have, and not to bother...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    What were you expecting them to do? Pick you up and carry you? Why did you go on the ice in the first place? I'm not a 10 but I'm also not ugly... I'm tall and slim and have a job and my own apartment, which is apparently more than a lot of the unemployed alcoholic pick up artists can boast...

    "What the h*** is wrong with women today?"

    What the Hell is Wrong With Women Today? | Plentyoffish Sucks! Interesting reading, especially the comments below from similarly aggrieved men. As a POF user I unfortunately have to agree that it is almost impossible to get a conversation going with the women on there, nobody is good enough...

    Your National food of your home country

    I'm trying to think what would be the best for Canada out of the choices of: -bacon -pulled pork -chicken wings -poutine -perogies For Toronto itself, the longstanding peameal bacon on a kaiser roll might be a contender, and there's also a large number of breweries... but there seem to...
