I almost choked. They're mad, but what a genious way of being....mad. Probably the best I have seen so far, but feel free for hijacking attemptz  :devil
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

That was good but watching the episode where the Southerners were crying about the "graffiti" on their three cars was hysterical.   The funnier thing was when three people with an English Accent approach the lady and have camera crews around and it still doesn't dawn on her.  :rofl

Top Gear is probably my favorite show on TV currently.  The episode where they had to drive the length of Vietnam on motorcycles ranks among my favorites. :)

Top Gear is arguably my favorite TV show. Jeremy Clarkson is an amazing presenter.

The wooden ship on the back of Hammonds Minsk was hilarious.

And Clarkson on his tiny moped was fantastic as well!

Top Gear, the Colbert Report, the Daily Show, and South Park (in that order more or less :) ) are the only shows I'm ever really worried about catching. Top Gear is great.

Bit off topic, how much is a stone in terms of weight? Not so much on Top Gear but on other BBC programming I hear this and I've never been sure how much it is...

1 stone is 14 Lbs, and 2.2 Lbs to a kilo

Yup, that's the easy stuff.  And personaly I like the sound of telling people I'm 6'5" and 21 stone in weight. :D

Now go and try to figure out the metric means of meassuring hydrolic pressure (what we here in the states fondly refer to as "PSI" (Pounds per Square Inch) measurements), welcome to my world.

I use PSI, over BAR,

over here in England, we use a mixture of metric and imperial for instance

Pint of Beer, pint of milk
1 litre of petrol, coke and gallons of petrol
long distance is measured in miles and speed is measured in MPH
smaller measurements made in meters, CM and MM
weight in the following
lbs & kg

*cringe*

Don't mention that word around me unless it's an establishment serving tasty cold beverages or a horizontal structural element.

It's the only thing about the metric system that I find myself seriously questioning the sanity of whoever concieved it.

We use a mixture here in the states too, specifically US Customary in big print with metric in small print and parenthesis next to it :D We're taught how the metric system works in public schools... however most will never use it.
