Next time you are driving on I-95 and it is shut down for 8 hours because of a tanker explosion, you probably shouldn't complain.

8/23/2010 1:38:59 PM

nah i'll still be pissed

8/23/2010 1:41:03 PM

I think I remember a Dr. Who episode about this

8/23/2010 1:41:31 PM

^^I probably will be too.

8/23/2010 1:42:55 PM

nah I'll still be pissed...


b/c I live in a 1st world country, not some communist run 3rd world POS.

8/23/2010 1:45:24 PM

8/23/2010 1:48:14 PM

^^I read an article last week that they are about to pass Japan as the second largest economy in the world. It won't be too much longer and China will pwnt everyone.

Yeh that is sad. You shouldn't have to be a history major to know the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

8/23/2010 2:22:25 PM

Stupid Chinese, thats what they get for bombing Pearl Harbor

i like how it had to hit 9 days before it was determined to be a viable news story

8/23/2010 5:17:24 PM

Just tried to Google map the route and see what the road looked like.

Anyone know why there are so many red and blue roofs in Beijing?

8/23/2010 5:26:12 PM

that's how they show their support for either Democrats or Republicans

8/23/2010 5:30:33 PM

...i dont get it... why don't they just turn around and use the other side of the road?

8/23/2010 5:49:05 PM

and do these people have to stop for gas every quarter mile or so? and do they shit in their pants?

8/23/2010 5:53:00 PM

must...resist...joke...about...asian...drivers...

8/23/2010 5:57:24 PM

At some point you would think the news would get out to not take that road and the line would stop backing up after a day or two.

8/23/2010 11:36:03 PM

i thought they all drove around in rickshaws still

8/23/2010 11:40:39 PM

^^ well, there was news about it, but the Chinese censored it so as not to make the party look bad

[Edited on August 23, 2010 at 11:42 PM. Reason : ]

8/23/2010 11:42:40 PM

Is this in Pearl Harbor, China?

8/23/2010 11:57:44 PM

^^LMAO!

8/24/2010 12:08:18 AM

Do they get out of their cars to pray to mecca?

8/24/2010 1:14:46 AM

yeah that did make me think it was a bit of an oxymoron....
then again we have interstate highways (though we don't give them silly names like "the Maine-Florida expressway")

(they use numbers here in Korea, too, for their roads.. and they have names, too, a la: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungang_Expressway)

8/24/2010 5:32:17 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of the doctor.

8/24/2010 8:13:21 AM

I-85 was totally shut down tonight.

8/25/2010 9:48:49 PM

i wonder how many people are just dead in their cars

there's gotta be some old people that have died in their sleep

8/25/2010 9:51:53 PM

^or from all the fumes...no joke

8/25/2010 10:04:57 PM

I was stuck in a 36 hour traffic jam once, ran out of gas

8/25/2010 10:35:40 PM

why not just cut the car off?

8/25/2010 10:36:35 PM

we did, woke up the next day, started the car, drove about 50 feet and ran out of gas

8/25/2010 10:40:44 PM

8/25/2010 11:00:27 PM

^win.

8/25/2010 11:14:47 PM

hmmm, fifty-thousand-car chinese firedrill...

to pass the time.

8/26/2010 12:58:42 AM

People still think this is the up-and-coming economy to invest in, lol.

8/26/2010 1:37:26 AM

It's still backed up from this guy. You think it's a risky move to overtake a state trooper on the interstate? Try passing a tank in China.

8/26/2010 10:40:29 AM

So tonight I was going out to Cedar Fork Park to play soccer and got stuck in the I-40 West traffic jam. YOU DON'T NEED TO STOP AND LOOK AT A FENDER BENDER THAT IS 4 FEET OFF THE ROAD! JUST DRIVE!

8/26/2010 10:57:54 PM

8/26/2010 11:00:53 PM

MOTHER FUCKING WIN

8/26/2010 11:01:02 PM

There is already a thread for this kind of calling out.

8/26/2010 11:01:36 PM

^^^^

I KNOW RIGHT?!? it took me an hour to get from US1 to harrison because everybody wanted to slow down and see what was going on ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

FUCK i hate everybody on the roads.

8/27/2010 12:20:23 AM

Has anyone ever gotten up to an accident and just blared your horn at the assholes who are stopping to look?

8/27/2010 1:04:26 AM

All cars need to come with a camera and automatic blinds, so that the drivers view of a wreck can be blocked when they get near it and so that they can watch the video when they get home.

8/27/2010 11:38:00 AM

Sure would suck if you missed your exit
