    And if they don't get their hand off it soon they'll go blind.

    I don't know how many times I've told him not to point his raygun at people.
    One of these days he'll put someone's eye out.

    A: Top-posters.
    Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

  5. Where do they find these people???

    Watching LBL on SBS-TV, cobberstones + racing tyres, far more scary than
    some imaginary little boys with imaginary toys (or imaginary friends)

    Those cobblestones made tram tracks on a wet day look very safe.

    A nice carbon fibre machine should sort out those rascally cobbles
    (Joking). You know shock absorbing and all that.

    Two nuns are riding their bikes down a back alley and the first nun turns to
    the other and says "I have never come this way before". The second nun
    turns back to her and says "It's the cobblestones."

    There's usually at least some of the Cannondale riders using
    Headshok forks for Paris-Roubaix.

    Dunno if it's just my imagination but this year's P-R looked even
    bumpier than usual.

    Yes, they use special CAT Ungraders to prepare the roads a week
    before the race.

    Gee, one mention of road bike suspension, and a routine browse of
    cyclingnews reveals://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=photos/2004/tech/news/apr30/ks_sotech-

    Take two metal rails and stick a conductive pellet between them. Now
    run a current threw the rails. The magnitic forces generates by the
    current running threw the rails will cause the pellet to acceleate to
    high speeds.
