Like a Twig

Saturday, September 27th, 2003

Snapped

I don’t know who approved the design for these bus-stop signs, but they are not durable or safe. The poles are fiberglas filled with concrete, and snap like a dry twig when hit by a car. This may mean less damage to the car, but it’s not that great for any pedestrians conked by the pole. Houston and Essex Streets.

87 Billion Dollars

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003
The GammaBlaBlog’s first attempt at political cartooning.

The prez wants $87,000,000,000 for "Iraq."
2,791 dollar bills make a stack one-foot-high.

Eighty-seven billion bills would stack 5,904 miles
high, and weigh 178 million pounds.

Ignoring practical factors like wind, orbital mechanics
and common sense, this column would exert eleven million pounds
per square inch at its base, piercing the earth to the core, creating
an awful mess.
