Ride the Tragic Roundabout
How could I have lived this long, unaware of the existence of the Magic Roundabout, a series of 5 small, inner roundabouts inside a larger one, located near Swindon in the U.K.? How could such a monstrous perversion of traffic safety ever have been conceived, let alone constructed? How....HOW?!
Now, thanks to the Ministry of Propaganda, we can all go for a virtual ride on the Magic Roundabout, and toss our biscuits.

Now we see that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman weren't joking about demons as traffic engineers. Time to re-read Good Omens.

No supernatural scapegoats are needed here in Wisconsin. We just blame our bad highway engineering on too much Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Many thanks! I think I'll lift the Cuba before Castro tomorrow. :-)

Me too. I had to stop watching it about halfway through.
