Actually believe it or not for purelly Scolastic reasons.

i have some serius interest in Human power transportation, to the point i end up with two master deggres on the subject, and Amsterdam is pretty much the epitomy of the inteligent use of resourses in terms of transportantion.

just look at this

3000 bike parking structure right next to the train station,, freaking amazing..

Interesting observation, i admit. I have visited this city many times but i never noticed this. Indeed you are quite correct.

I need to re-open my eyes i guess.

actually is very comun, for the person being inmerse on their environment.
the things that look like "Marvels" to a tourist are provincial and comun at best for the people that frequent the same exact environment.. (that is why is so cool to go on trips and adventures, at least for me)
I also have seven semesters of Semiotic science studies,,,what can i say I love No verbal comunication, maybe because I'm so Dizlexic...

Did you ever see the "Bend" buildings...??
acording to a friend (I think is a joke) the Hollander were so prone to show their achivements and materail gain, they develope this kind of buildings so other can pick inside their windows and see how much they have..

To me being a scientist, geek, nerd whatever is to able to the avility to see what most can not,, not necesary in fisical terms but the endless possibilites the human brain can bring..

Pardon the delay in response. The not-wife (henceforth abbreviated N/W) showed up to give me a ride home from work, and there were all sorts of complications what with her locking her keys in the car and whatnot. This is my first chance to get back.

maybe mister Danger you need to take a trip up there (not in the winter) to keep you away from the :Puter from time to time...
It's not 'up there', ricardo. It's 'over there'... way, waaaayyyy over there. I'm in Alberta.
 
I thought you were from Canada.

my truck automatically locks the doors if you hit 15 mph. Sometimes at work it is easier for me to drive from point to point holding the GPS out the open door. Then when I get to the next point the doors are locked, but open so when I jump out and shut the door I'm locked out. I've done it three times now. Everytime the truck has been running, once it was in the middle of an intersection. I'm getting pretty good at breaking into the truck.
 
The disgusting part is that I'm a locksmith, but I would have had to walk half a mile home to get my tools, and it was -20C with a wicked windchill. We just called AMA and waited inside.
 
LMAO
Don't feel bad. I'm a land surveyor and got lost a couple of days ago.

Nice story, but the reason that the houses bend forward is another one. If you've ever been inside you'll notice it's impossible to move furniture up the staircases, all the furniture is moved into the house through the windows. On the top of the building you see a pole sticking out, furniture is attached to a rope and with the help of the pole tackled up and into the house.

To prevent the furniture banging into the lower windows, the front of the house is build with a slope. That's what I've been told at least :smile:
 
Wow, we just built bigger staircases

The building of the last picture must be the only monument in the world that is perennially surrounded by a haze of cranes :mad:

With a bit of luck (I'm crossing my fingers) it will be finished within the next 3 thousand years (its construction started in 1882, so the delay is yet annoying)

but even then before you Dye, la sagrada familia is a Place to visit, the structures are just so incredible, the curves so sensual..

at least for me, that Catedral was a experience that change my life in a good way for ever.

just my own opinion oviuslly.
 
all these pictures are cool, but why is that ugly monkey in all of them? Is that a pet of yours?
 
Here's the latest Spawn of Evo picture, not to be confused with the Child of Evo. I will probably get in trouble because she says the picture is ugly and her nose looks big and the glare on her glasses blocks out her eyes.

Oh well, I like it. And that little round thing on her face is not a mole, it's a piercing.

:-p She just keeps getting better all the time. Thanks, Evo. :-p
 
face piercing, yuck. I remember my dad telling me the story about when he was a volunteer fireman. He went to a car wreck and was loading a victim into the ambulance. He kept trying to flick a piece of glass off this girls face and it wasn't til quite a few flicks later that he realized it was a piercing.
 
She's gorgeous. Ofcourse what else should we expect from that particular genetic line.



There's a goth industrial club chick here at my work. She has about ten or so facial piercings. Maybe I've just become desensitized but they don't look that bad on her. Not my cuppa but I don't cringe when I see her either.
 
She's a cute one, evo. Any chance she'll stop with the weird stud on face? Every time I see those, I think it's a mole until I look a little harder.

I'm sure it will be the one and ONLY. She got it a few years ago. It's to where I don't even notice it usually. Thank God she didn't get her eyebrow pierced. Those look creepy to me.

The Child of Evo was forbidden to get any type of face piercing. :devil: I allowed her to get her belly button pierced though, and that actually looked very pretty.

where're those pictures?

I'd rather see the ones of Evo's many tattoos. Rumor has it, they're in delicate places.

:bugeye: I can honestly say that I have no tatoos.

I'd be perfectly happy to examine you to confirm that for everyone, too.

I knew that was a setup. :biggrin:

Indeed. There is no rumor that you have tattoos. All gossip about you is pretty much limited to the subject of marsupial smuggling.

That, sadly, is true. :frown:
 
Well you could koala me anytime.
