Daily conversation: What is the worst possible answer?

[kphoger]

Anyone else think this joke is transphobic?

Only if you don't think cars should be allowed to self-identify as buses.  If you don't, then you're the transphobic one.

(By the way, in this context, shouldn't we be using the word transitphobic instead?)

Highway 420.

Pebbly Beach Road in Avalon, California.  Those golf cart drivers are savages and the Scion iQs might actually be shifting.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike, with all those "flip-your-car" curves.

What roads have too high of a speed limit?

The Capital Beltway. It's posted at 55 mph. Everyone exceeds that, so clearly they need to lower it to get people to take it seriously.

What roads have too high of a speed limit?

The Kessel Run. They need to drop it down a parsec or two.

The Kessel Run. They need to drop it down a parser or two.

If they just said par/sec, then it would make sense: the length of an average golf round divided by time. But I suppose the incongruity of yards ≠ meters might create some issues, and suddenly you're trying to land the Millennium Glider on a disc golf course due to an error in calculating plutonium decay.

It never occurred to me that Han actually meant par/sec, but it makes perfect sense now. If I had played the Kessel Country Club course at even par in 1.5 seconds, then I'd randomly work it into every conversation, too.

Why are interstates ending in 0 or 5 normally longer than others?

[Sapphuby]

What roads have too high of a speed limit?

Any interstate with a posted speed limit of 45mph or less within a major city. CLEARLY there's too many accidents and we need to lower the speed limit more.

Why are north/south interstates odd-numbered and east/west interstates even-numbered?

It's just a coincidence.

It was a month or two ago, but we did. I remember the 0-pi answer.

My answer still applies.

What should be done about cars using bus-only lanes?

Make it legal for anyone to sit in the back seat of the car if they have a valid fare card. The driver would then be required to bring the transit riders to their requested stop. (If they don't, the driver would be required to pay the rider $10,000.)
