This one is a true answer, but I also think it qualifies for this thread: The lower platform at the Rosslyn Metrorail station.


Virginia is for losers.

Use it to build a big redoubt, to protect the homeland in the upcoming war to reclaim Toledo.

Move it all to the banks of the Detroit River near the Customs booths for the Gordie Howe Bridge, set it up as two ramps (one on each side), pack it down really well so it can support vehicle weight, and then configure some sort of chillers to keep it nice and frozen as the weather gets warmer (maybe rent the NHL's trucks used to freeze the ice for outdoor games). That way, if the President somehow manages to carry through with his threat to prevent the bridge from opening, drivers can use the ramps to cross the river Dukes of Hazzard–style as an alternative to the Ambassador Bridge and the tunnel.

Turn it into a sleek layer of ice. You can then use it to pave the existing roads or create new temporary roads.

This is getting out of hand. We obviously need a MUTCD standard for these.

This one in Freehold, New Jersey, for reasons that should be apparent once you see the street name. Appropriate for this particular weekend, too.

What did you fix? The link showing the pavement? I had already edited it to fix that when I discovered the problem. I had tried to zoom in on the street sign, but evidently it didn't like that.
