Comment Re:Naturally, Not in America (Score 1) 128

In my land we admire you for getting 60MPG (whatever that is), however WE think your Harley is butt-ugly ( to use one of your countrymans expressions.
Of course, since the Motorcycle was invented in America, then I guess it is up to you Americans to decide what is beautiful and what is not.
We humble foreigners bow to your superior aesthetic Detroit perceptions.

      - Yes, slashdot was invented and styled in America!

Why would people in Nepal think it is "ugly"?

Do they think only that beauty nust come from Detrioit and Madison Avenue?

Ah... Perhaps you are right- inside every dirty ugly little Nepalese or Indian,there is a beautiful sleek American trying to get out!
Perhaps one day, I too shall want to trade in my faithful water-buffalo "Steve" for a beautiful American Holstein... or a very stylish Pontiac "Parisienne" I hear they are very popular!

Wasn't it the historic Pontiac Lemans that won all those 24 hour races in France?
No matter! They are BOTH beautiful stylish cars!
America should truly be proud of its styling.

Howdy, Dude!
Or should I address you as Dudie?

You DO know that it takes lots of fossil fuels to manufacture those big V8s and slightly smaller V6s and 4s, right?
OK, probably not as much fossil fuel as it does to make a couple of small lead-acid batteries...
But then I am just an old lady tending my faithful water-buffalo "Steve".
What would I know, next to the immense knowledge of a great American "dude" slashdotter?
I must bow to your superior wisdom, young lad!

>> We're not building nuclear power stations for one simple reason: We don't know what to do with the waste byproduct yet. There are very few places on this planet that we can store it, and even then there's doubts.

Goodness me- Why don't you simply "sequester" the nuclear waste? Just like you plan to "sequester" all your CO2? (LOL)

  I love that word "sequester" - one word - sounds technical - and solves all the problems!

Goodness!
Swedish men also wear ridiculous armour when they play hockey- just like those "wimpey" Canadians and Americans.
I have no doubt as to why they prefer shootey-shootey bang-bang childrens' games in front of the telly, to a real game of football or "hockey" (I believe in North America they call it Ice Honckey).
I suggest there has been too much plastic residue / estrogens leaching into their drinking water over the last generation or so. The current westerner would not have a chance if he attempted to play hockey- REAL hockey - on the playing fields in my land!
I.E. sans "padding" as you effete westerners call it.
Let him languorously lounge in front of his gaming monitor", the poor estrogen-laden layabout.
One would think they had enough female-fat padding already!
But no! That is why they must now take these steroid additions, the poor chaps!
