This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Never really read DIY. This looks like a neat thread. Thanks for the link.

^^ The OSHA thread is great. I'm quite far back in it and it just keeps on giving.

The restaurant industry thread is neat too, especially if you've worked in food service. Feeling crummy about your desk job grinding on and on? Went back to school and it's just beating you down? Read it and it'll galvanize your resolve to follow through.

If you REALLY wanna archive binge read the previous one first. It's actually pretty heartwarming to see people claw their way out of food service hell into better careers.

Was this gem already posted? Ask me about being a Traffic Engineer! If it was, it deserves a second posting.

It's a thread begun by the resident traffic engineer god Cichlidae in which he and lots of others like him have spent years and countless posts explaining why that one intersection near you works the way it does, why traffic tends to back up a lot at certain points on your way to work and not at others, how highways are designed properly and how often they're not (usually because budget issues), and why red lights are important and how they differ in function from country to country. It's legit one of the most fascinating threads on the forums. Many of the early illustrations have been eaten by TinyPic but it's still alive and kicking so just jump in!

Another Talk to Transformer thread? Yes. Rowdy Ringsports revels in making the insane world of pro wrestling even more insane with the help of some AI. Plus you get some beautiful illustrations of it. To wit:

quote:

Dirty South & The Addiction vs. Team Rhodes Scholars and The Revival

They were a solid tag team with a lot of energy. Both teams were very physical, and both teams looked very dangerous in this match. We would see a lot of the same moves here with a lot of offense, I really enjoyed the double DQ, and a lot of really good footsies from the teams. We also saw a lot of the "Kiss and Hold" style

speaking of old threads that were fascinating(or in this case horrifying), there was a thread by a goon in south america about the cartels and what they were doing, with insanely graphic photographs and detailed articles about the atrocities committed by the cartels and just how bad things were. it was horrific and uncompromising in what it talked about, in great detail both personal and news-based, but I've never been able to find the thread again. I think it was a thread focusing mostly on the Los Zetas cartel, but I can't quite remember.

If someone has a link to the thread, that would be much appreciated. Coworker of mine from Columbia was talking to me about the cartels in south america the other day and I figured it might be useful either for me or maybe him(sans the abattoir photos, of course).
