Re: The Random Thoughts Thread

At the end of the day, it gets dark.


Does anyone know what the longest, current thread is and who started it? Maybe they should get a prize or something.

Re: The Random Thoughts Thread

I think it may have been because a lot of the human carpet testers suffered burn out after working flat out.



Oh, and test dummies are designed to survive pile-ups.

In the UK, we don't have military rule; instead we have general elections.
