If numbered highways were people

[hbelkins]

US 66 would definitely be someone who is a proponent of Daylight Saving Time, because both are incredibly popular but have very little actual usefulness.

Once again, I had an experience that points out that DST is, indeed, very useful. After the UK game yesterday, I went outside to cut some brush in the back yard. I had about an hour of daylight in which to work. If we were still under DST, I would have had two hours and could have gotten twice as much done.

DST seems to be based on location in country.  I like current way it's done compared to old way(believe updated in W's term)

anyone on here who still has strong opinions on DST at this point should have a strong light affixed over their bed that cycles on or off every 15 minutes until they are so sleep deprived they could sleep whether DST exists or not

I'll continue the highways family tree with US 66 now that you mentioned it

US 66 breaks up with US 70 and had I-44 as a child with US 277

My first thought was I-2 wearing a sombrero, I-4 is just a minivan and not a person, and then I-8 is back to the sombrero.

[kirbykart]

US 2 has a split personality. *insert cringe laugh*

For this I'd say that if a highway is really more than one separate highways, like I-76/84/86/87/88, US-2, PA-97, or like 100 highways in Arkansas, but unlike I-49 or I-69, we treat them as separate people.

I-4 is a rental car.

This is perfection. (Also rest in peace (pieces?) to NJ-167 and 324; gone are they in time, only to be left as remnants of the past.)
