I was just thinking that when I was a commuter who drove, I feel like I 'wasted' a lot more time than that per year...but maybe it is some definition of 'traffic' counting a certain amount of time without moving?

I guess if I really cared, I could go to their website but I feel like something they should note on their shiny infographics.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It's British slang for "drunk."  the average LA resident spends 81 hours a week drunk, the average Londoner 101.

Now that's something we can all get behind, so long as it's not the steering wheel.

Frankly I am shocked there is a city in Texas worse than my own.

I only have to fill my gas tank once every three weeks now.  It's pretty damned awesome.

Surprised Frankfurt is not on the list, I mean there is Saarbrück and Karlsruhe.
Not so surprised with Stuttgart in, Porsche and Mercedes get stuck in traffic jams too.

Oral surgery on Friday.  Three teeth need to be cut out.  So if I die this weekend you all will know why.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
