Have been observing. Have noticed that many autos skurry close up to the one in front as if ready to hop on and...bim bam...try to make a new baby auto. Usually male is biggest but noticed that BIG autos like concrete trucks hardly ever try to hump little autos like Porche.
Some species male is smaller but can't think of concrete truck as female. Almost always its littler auto like SUV that is sniffing the tailpipe of big truck. But also noticed that autos like SUV sniffing eagerly at littler auto like TOYota.
Finally decided that all members of auto species...Big and Small...are gay males, busily sniffing up the auto in front's rear end.
What say ye, follows? Autos are 2-gender? Or autos are gay males?
Should this be in polls?

I have to admit you have a point here. Though all autos are gay males, none of them seems to want to be the bitch. None of them seems really interested in getting humped from behind, and most try to scurry away if the "from-behind" aggressor gets too friendly. Most of them are more bark than bite though, and when they get the red light signal the usually back off. At least for a little while. |

Just for a moment I'd like to ask you a question. Don't mean to sound critical, am just curious.
Is English your 2nd language? I have a very good friend who lives in Japan and when he writes to me his speech pattern is like yours. Leaving out words and not phrasing correctly is difficut to understand at times.
Really don't want to ofend you but just wondering.
I also live with someone from SE Asia and I'm always making fun of him when he doesn't put 'S's on the end of words. But that's another story.
Now to the topic of the folder. I never thought of cars as anything but transportation. Except a Corvette, my dream car. I'd never call that a she. But people who drive those big van things, that some call SUVs, are morons. At least the ones in S. California. Women talking on the phone, not paying attention to what they are doing. Those drivers think they can push their way in anywhere any time. I hate them. I sure hope they don't have any babies, they need abortions. Get them off the road.

Did you know that in french, cars are female? Nouns in french all have a gender, for exemple, 'an apple' is female (une pomme) and 'a pen' is male (un crayon). Car is 'automobile' or 'voiture', and both are 'une', that is, female...
I dont know how this helps you Purple (Pruple?)...
Your theory is sound however, since that as a pedestrian, I can tell you for a fact that lots cars have an a**hole, usualy behind the well.

Perhaps tailgaters are all males -- idiot males. These idiot drivers (tailgaters) never studied elementary physics and are completely unaware that E=ma and that they must leave space with which to stop (at least 2 seconds worth in which distance varies with the speed). I always leave their reaction time PLUS my reaction time in front of me. I always have time to slowly stop to prevent the imbecile/idiot from bashing the rear of my car in. Each day, I drive a long way to and from work (over an hour of travel each way) and am not a slow driver, but in heavy traffic, I cannot fly over the cars in front of me. Then again, perhaps I should give flying a try.

Not so. My observation is that this behaviour is not gender speciffic.

I agree. I wish I had James Bond gadgets on my car, like thick mist or slick oil to get rid of them. When it's been raining, I purposely drive in water to make mist if they are too clode but don't seem interested in overtaking me. Then they susually back off for a while. |

ljbrs, I can tell you that if you kept trying to get two seconds in front of you around our Nation's Capitol, the space would quickly be filled up by people passing other people. If you slowed down every time that happened, to get your two seconds back, you'd soon find yourself doing about 20 MPH, with a cop pulling you over for being a dangerous obstruction to traffic flow.
I'm not saying that such behaviour is correct (and I'd never claim that it's safe), I'm just saying that that's probably what'd happen around here.
And it gets much worse when it snows. We've got a lot of people who move here after growing up in the South, who've never seen a real, live snowflake, and they slow to a crawl when the first flakes start coming down. We've also got a lot of people here who grew up in the North, and who leared how to drive during blizzards, and who try to maintain the speed limit (which is typically "slow" driving). This situation, coupled with the insistence of both parties on tailgating, ensures many accidents when there is snow, sleet, or ice coming down. |

Think that she meant E=mv^2 (mass of car/truck times the impact velocity squared). No es verdad?
As to the Pruple Panther's whole thread: Pay no attention to him; he's just making fun of my love for AstroBiology...the science formerly known as ExoBiology...which is the study of ExtraTerrestrial life. The Panther is suggesting that the metal and plastic behemoths are of off-Earth origin. Dumb thought. Maybe.
Dashing Dave, may yo say that as the Capital of US, the Congress should BAN all cars from the District except for emergency vehicles like fire trucks and garbage trucks. They manage it on Macinac Island Michigan and do well by it. The Capital aught to setting an example for us all in these days of increasingly disasterous and near-terroristic Global Warming.
And put the D.C. cops on horses. The District, btw, has a great subway system and sidewalk system...so who needs cars? |

I'm not sure I agree with your description of Astrobiology. You make it sound as if it excludes the life on earth. Having taken a university course on the subject, I say it includes earth, since it is currently the only known place where life exists to be studied. It's about the grand scheme of the universe, what conditions have to be met for life to appear. From supernovas, to planetary nebulas, to stellar nursery, to main sequence star to the biological evolution on earth.

You are, sin duda, right Dr. Mabuse since you've taken a university course on the subject. I have no formal training in AstroBiology but my impression is that students of AstroBiology study Earthly life with a goal of trying to understand how different the conditions can be and still support something alive.
It seems to me that until we actually find some ExtraTerrestrial life, the real goal of AstroBiology is to make scientific guesses as to the extreme possibilities of non-Earthly life. How else will we know what to look for and where to look? |

Absolutly right there...
Did you know that astronomers actually have managed to measure atmosphere on an extra solar planet?
Unfortunatley, it wasn't breathable (gaseous sodium, but what the heck...).

inglish should be NOONEs second language. And NOT anybodys first language. NOT even anyones TENTH language. Inglish is a religious abomination foisted on the rest of us by Anglicans. So as to promote the religion of Inglishism. Long live Washington and Yorktown. Long live Ghandi. Long live Cromwell. Long live Willum, Duke of Greater Normandy and King of all the Brits. Down with the Inglican Fundies trying to push their religion on the rest of us through their horrible language....that NOONE can spell. |

Well, considering that I agree that maintaining a safe distance is wise indeed, and simply pointed out to ljbrs that doing so is nearly impossible on the roads in my area, I don't understand what you are disputing. |
