(Some Litterbug) Spiffy Workers remove 4.5 million pounds of trash from North Carolina's roadways. To put that in perspective, that equals roughly 200 million cigarette butts, 90 million soda bottles, or 32,000 dead hookers   (citizen-times.com) divider line 99

Wow. 140,000+ pound hooker. Impressive.

That's a whole lot of women to love.

I did the math and came up with 140 lbs. Which, unless they're 'full,' is unacceptable for a dead hooker.

Unfortunately that 4.5 million lbs. of trash was only a very small portion of the trash on NC roads. The roadsides in NC are disgusting.

It's a cultural thing in NC. People here are obsessed with the cleanliness of their cars to the point that they must immediately dispose of out the window any and all food containers or other trash that they produce while driving.

Me being an ex-Yankee, I do not suffer from this compulsion and have no problem driving around in my trash filled vehicle.

I found a type in the British Columbia government guide to Animal weights:

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wat/wq/reference/foodandwater.html

Marine Mammalss


Consequently, there are 4.5 million people in British Columbia. But if you average out their brain weights there are possibly 9 million brains. I heard from a friend they have very small brains so I ran the numbers based on 8oz, instead of 14. So there are 4.5 million people in BC, but 9 million brains.

If i were a zombie I'd go there.

 
slobarnuts 2008-12-27 03:31:26 PM  
I forgot to convert that metric.

If you convert that to metric, there are slightly fewer brains than people. Not a good place for zombies to go.

Norway has 4.5 million people.

Interestingly enough, a google search for Penis turns up 70 million hits, while a google search for Vagina only turns up 36 million.

OH I know. There's shiat all over every road around here. What funny is there's an "Adopt a highway" sign every couple of miles. Someone isn't picking up their weight in trash around here. And signs for "spotting litterers" with phone numbers, which apparently have little effect.

Come for a visit. Whatever the DOT claims to have cleaned up didn't make a dent. It'll be back in 2 weeks. Which is sad for a state that is asthetically pleasing in most of it.

this Being from the Pacific NW, I was appalled at the way they throw shiat, particularly burning cigarettes, out car windows. Seattle cops are more than happy to write a $1,000 ticket for this, but while in NC it seemed to be considered normal.

I'm not so sure about that. I moved to NC from TN 25 years ago and as more and more people have moved here, the trash problem has gotten worse and worse. Don't know if the huge influx of Yankees has helped create the trash problem; IMO it's probably a combination of more people (Yankees, Hispanics, Northwesterners) and less trash pickup and lax law enforcement.

That is a sterotype that I would like to refute. I am born and raised NC, and not only do I not throw trash out of the car, I even pick up trash if I am walking around the neighborhood.

This is not a NC thing, if any state had a pick up program like us, you would see the same numbers in pounds.

If our state is too trashy for you, don't let the door hit you on the behind as you leave.
