Anyone wnat to guess this one? :P

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Just had one of an old-timey looking American football player. I'm sure that an American would have instantly guessed the approximate era by the kind of gear the guy is wearing, but I had no clue at all.  :lol:

Turned out it was from the mid 50s, while I though it was from the interwar period.

I get that one in 50% of my runs.  I think something broke in loading the image, rather than having a bad image in their DB.

Just had one near the end of a very good run, really frustrating.

Perfect for a Sunday ride through a south American city.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

How so? What's needed to qualify for it?

In any case, tax free childcare doesn't sound too snazzy.

I was thinking more like Rio, but there are some american cities where I'd also recommend the car :D

The SUV of choice for the drug kingpin with taste.

Edit: I wonder what's its fuel efficiency.

Not the end of the world. But getting 100 of every 500 spent covered was nice.

Oddly for a benefit there's a minimum income threshold for each parent.

Don't quote me on that, but I think that over here all education expenses are tax free.

The minimum income threshold sounds strange... what's the rationale for that?
