What is their metric? Fatalities? Traffic is so bad nobody goes fast enough to get hurt.
I remember when they said the MBTA was the second best in the US. Thing is a joke.

As I recall that is true. It can basically be walked up with no special equipment (theoretically of course...I don't think it is that smooth, but the issue would be the local gradient, not the overall gradient.)
That is, after you get up the 7000 meter escarpment. That seems like it would be slightly more difficult.
But hey, after that the next 300km are easy!
I've always wondered if Olympus Mons wouldn't be an ideal place for a Mars based telescope. I think the top is almost out of the atmosphere.

That is such bullshit. Seriously. Lived in multiple states and MA has the worst drivers. I have seen shit done in MA that you wouldn't see anywhere else. Enter oncoming traffic to make a "free left?". Only in MA. Oregon probably has the best. Annoyingly so. You'd cross over the Columbia and all of a sudden everyone is doing the speed limit!

Nobody in MA can drive.
This is a law of nature.

This is a very complex structure. And at this scale (which is MASSIVE...I mean the footprint of Olympus Mons is pretty much equal to the entire area of France. Oh, and it is 25km tall. There is a lot going on in there.

Nope.
Also, he doesn't have an ounce of the needed charisma. The guy looks and sounds like if Lurch was a Masshole...

I mean, in theory. Most people don't have any faith in the system though. And you can get fired easily for doing this.

All those people are trying to get away from Worcester as fast as possible. That's why.
Damn turtle fuckers!

*Sometimes.
Tip theft is a serious issue in the service industry and it often goes unchecked. I know of a few places that openly steal tips from employees.

Did the owner of a restaurant tell you this?

Interesting. Is that one reason for the "dog like," noses?

Hello Dr Fontani - Can you speak about lemur intelligence in relation to the other primates? I was always given the impression that the prosimians were thought of as "kind of dumb," in relation to monkeys, but I also think that could be wildly incorrect now thanks to research by people like you.
