    At some point someone is going to hack a moving level 1-1 from SMB. And that will be the pinnacle. This, however, is about 1ft, from the pinnacle.

    I know this stuff seems real funny and all to you guys, but I spend a lot of time on the road, and have seen a lot of people get hurt just because they ignored signs. Now imagine if you erase an important warning for something stupid, and a lot of people get hurt at once because they didn't see it?


    A simple "Slick Road, Slow Down" turned into a prank, could easily kill 10-20 people that were going a little too fast for the ice.

    @qbxk: Craziest part is the last line.


    "The authorities have not figured out how the signs are being reached."


    Really? They can't figure it out? They don't already know? And they can't spend 2 minutes searching online if they don't?


    *shakes head* That certainly explains a lot.

    I know that the authorities wouldn't tell us if there were velociraptors on the loose. After all, Dr. ian Malcolm is working for the NYPD.
