Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Traffic engineers in Philadelphia are trying a new low-cost tactic to slow down speeders: fake speed bumps. The 3-D plastic markings cost $60 to $80 each, much less than the 1,000 to $1,500 price for real ones, and require little maintenance.

Philly Tries Fake Speed Bumps


Silicone or Saline?

I suppose they'll work for the first couple of times until everyone in the neighborhoo
realizes they're fake then will continue on speeding right over them.

neighborhoo = neighborhood

And who cares anyway about these stupid typos.
I'm tired of wasting my time fixing them.

Indeed, what's the difference if the point is salient and obvious. Attacking the occasional typo or misstep is a last refuge. Habitual offenders however deserve the beating.

"CALIFCHRIS".....Quit wasting your time being the spelling POLICE, every once in a while deal with the FACTS at hand. The fact that you spend most of your time scanning the site looking for spelling mistakes, says more about you than you could possible want people to know. Everyone isn't as smart as you, so people make mistakes in there grammer or spelling an you feel its your job to correct them, GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!!

But Grandpa forgave him.

That dumb and crazy fuck thinks CaliChris is a spelling nazi for correcting the spelling in her own post!

Holy shit you're crazy Celisary! Do the neighbors grab their kids and run indoors when you go outside to fight ham sandwiches?

"...people make mistakes in there grammer(sic)..."

LOL!

Looks like the ham sandwich got a few good licks in.

Wait and see - there will be an accident because some one tried to miss one of these illusions.

That's not a speed bump.

NOW THIS IS A SPEED BUMP!

Unless the offender is concurrently insulting someone else's intelligence, as in your to stoopid too breethe.

I mean...ya gotta love the self-retorting retort!

There's usually an obvious difference between a typo than a grammar or spelling error.

I see celery doesn't pay attention in class. Celery: CC never corrects others, only herself. I think you owe her an apology with your ugly retort aimed at her. Quit being so hateful all the time to everyone who is not a radical Republican hating socialist like you.

I was talking about always having to spend time making corrections to my own misstakes -- not anyone else's. I spend enough time fixing all my own typos and spelling errors on here without wanting to run around and fix those made by other people. Who cares.


CALIFCHRIS"....., GET A FUCKING LIFE!!!!!

Celery, sweetie, does this mean you're calling off our engagment? (grin)

It's "their" nor "there."

It's "their" nor "there."


Where?

And all this time I thought CC was a guy, but in a kind of weird way. Now it all works out.

Still weird though.

And nobody cares about typos, they ain't no big deal. Double negatives do sometimes make a positive.:)

Not a bad initial idea, but it has to be followed up buy at least a few real bumps, or it will only provide false security. As drivers get accustomed to being fooled, they won't slow down. But that will happen just as pedestrians are accustomed to a "safer" street. The logical result -- less wary pedestrians and drivers who are becoming jaded to the warnings. The expected outcome, a drop in accidents early on followed by an increase in accidents later.

Plastic Owls fool birds for about a week. I expect these will fool humans for about a month.
