I prefer to read the year of 2000 as "twenty-hundred" rather than "two thousand" and the years 2001-2009 as "twenty-oh-_____" instead of "two-thousand-and-_____".

So, we would call the first decade the twenty o's? And why am I suddenly hungry for breakfast cereal?

I wish Hollywood would make a Superman movie inspired by the early post-Crisis Superman comics of the 80s & 90s.

I am going to be having San Francisco chicken for diner tonight.

Is that thought random enough for this thread?

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that a Frosted Pop Tart has the exact same nutritional value as an unfrosted one.

That must be one big chicken if it can serve as a diner. =P

 Well he's Big Bird's much larger cousin and I hollowed him out and added some tables. There you have it,the most popular diner in Delaware.

There's EXACTLY that much less filling on a frosted one then.

Oh and don't forget about Basil Fawlty.  What is it with the British. They have a reputation for being so polite and proper and yet they seem to also produce the rudest people on earth.

That's exactly what "They" want you to think.

Do you also think Fox Maulder is a fictional character?

Why are there CAUTION signs on automatic doors?

The fine print should say "Carefully walk through this door way in any fashion you choose. Doesn't matter. The door will open automatically anyway. So, uh, you know... be careful."

  Also if it is one of those doors that swings open by the time I am close enough to read the sign the door has already opened. So if the warning is about it hitting me in the face,by the time i have seen the sign the door has already hit me in the face.  Thanks.

I never learned how to ride a bicycle, therefore I want an adult-sized tricycle (and no, I'm not joking).

I used to ride a red Pashley tricycle called Bessie.

It was really difficult to ride. You would think the extra wheel would add stability but it actually turned me into a sail.

It was also much heavier than a conventional bike and took more effort to ride. I once rode it along the seafront and pensioners on mountain bikes passed me laughing their wrinkled faces off.

My pal Blay says seeing me ride into town wearing a fun fur was one of the most enjoyably bizarre things he had ever seen.

I lost control of it in the small hours on my way home from work and lucky for me the roads were empty because It probably would have killed me in the day time.

Bessie is now a Garden fixture though.

I would only recommend it if A) You live somewhere flat because the otherwise you will struggle to get up hill and struggle to maintain control downhill. B) if you carry a lot of stuff around because the back shelf (or front if it's orientated with two wheels at the front) is handy for transporting materials or shopping.

But if you are going to add wheels why stop with three?
