It's like that photo of the ancient great white covered in scars

True, it does look pretty cool. I just watched the extended compilation video of all the truck v 11foot8 bridge wrecks. In some of them, there's a pedestrian on the sidewalk as the truck hits the bridge. They don't appear to even miss a step or react to the crash. They must be so numb to it by now. I wonder if the city has a couple road crew guys dedicated to just cleaning up the debris from the truck wrecks or if they all take turns going out there when another hits.

Please enjoy these demolition fails - a testimony to superior construction or inferior explosives placement!

Ahahah amazing. Turning a mild problem into an unmitigated disaster. What the hell do they do for a building leaning at 15 degrees with no foundation? Getting close enough to knock it down is a suicide mission.

Why don't they just close the drat road and make traffic go through one of the literal dozens of other intersections that cross the rail without a 11'8" bridge?

I missed out on the Gawker and Hulk Hogan trial and it seems like a really long event. Is there somewhere I can read up on it easy like a video compilation or a Top 10 things things said Hulk vs Gawker.

Gawker were a bunch of hypocrites, refusing to post young celeb debutante hacked pics, but pretty much putting Hulkamania porn on the front page, brother

Gawker said a bunch of things that probably made the jury give them the legal flying knee drop

He allowed this mannequin to be in the entrance to his former Hulk-branded restaurant in Tampa (no longer associated with him). I went there with coworkers once.

All we could do the whole night was commiserate with him taking a massive poo poo.

some of you seem upset by the idea of gawker posting child pornography, but don't worry! the gawker guy was just being flippant when answering a line of questioning designed to make gawker look like an opportunistic and unsympathetic organization!

Wait a second.

quote:

Atlanta, whose new Falcons stadium is set to open in 2017, had hoped to host a Super Bowl in 2019 or 2020. The bill could put a kink in those plans if it’s signed into law by Gov. Deal. On top of the language on faith-based groups, the bill ensures that pastors cannot be forced to preside over same-sex marriage ceremonies, and that individuals cannot be forced to attend these ceremonies. Gay rights activists have called the bill, which has gone through multiple changes but whose latest version passed the state House Wednesday, a “slap in the face,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

How do you force someone to attend a wedding ceremony? Forget gay weddings, I'm pretty sure there's no way of doing that which isn't illegal for any wedding. :psyduck:

Probably means something like, if you work for a catering company that's been hired for a wedding, they can't fire you if you refuse to work the event on "religious" grounds.

Okay, right up until like the last 20 seconds of that video, I thought that the sound on further thought I suppose must be a dog barking was actually being made by the sister, who was having some kind of breathing problem over in the corner.

In retrospect, way less alarming/hilarious than on first viewing.

There's two intersections nearby that just cross over without any bridges, but they may be afraid that closing the road would just increase congestion elsewhere and one crash a month is a small price to pay.
