There's a section of Melbourne that's laid out like that. When the rest of the city was being drawn up to go north/south and east/west, the guy who was surveying this particular area wanted to be ~different~ (seriously, no other reason) and he drew up that area to be lined up with where the sun set on the Summer Solstice or some bullshit like that. Literally just to be different from the rest of the fledgling city.

That made me look up to see if "manuever" was just a weird English spelling or something, and apparently everywhere that's not America has it as "manoeuvre"? Fancy.

Generally speaking, further refers to a metaphorical distance while farther refers to an actual distance.

oohhh ok right

thats not a grammatical error though, its pure vocabulary & a prescriptive issue as well. actually, this meme probably finalized the synonymizing of further & farther.

The best one that no one remembers was a classic noir story about a surgeon, his girlfriend, and the thugs he was equipping with weapons. Surprise, the girlfriend and lead thug are two-timing the doctor, and he finds out but the thug doesn't know. The episode ends with the thug going under for surgery, as the doctor assures him everything will be ok...

I saw a panel with all those guys who did Batman: The Animated Series through Justice League, and they were joking "we took the Batman Beyond gig thinking we were going to make something super kid-friendly and ended up making our darkest show by far."

I've always like Melbhenge just for how utterly pointless it is. More cities need poo poo like that.

San Francisco has the same thing sorta, basically there were two separate competing city centers founded that eventually grew into each other. The justification I heard for the angled grid was that with the streets offset from east/west you're never driving your carriage straight into the sun, apparently it was kind of a city-planning fad of the late 1800's and actually sounds like a good idea to me.

Of course they didn't really get the north/south grid right either.

Apollo 13 didn't enter lunar orbit and got on a free return trajectory instead - once around the backside of the Moon and back to Earth.
This made their flight the farthest away from Earth and also the fastest to re-enter the atmosphere to this day.

So farthest distance from Ohio and fastest return to Ohio. Dude ended up in Illinois - Ohio really is a black hole.

"Guillaume" is the French equivalent to "William". It sometimes gets shortened as "Gui".

So they had a perfect opportunity to go for gui.je.suis and they blew it! :argh:
