You are way too kind. When a physics retard "corrects" me with his idiocy and then tells me to kill myself I can't be that contained.

It's amazing how every day on fark you can find some moran who is sure they are right about something factual that 10 seconds of google proves totally wrong.

Eh. I did fark up, the guy I originally replied to said, "distance over speed", and I had a brain fart and forgot MPH is distance over time.

Besides, this way I get to laugh at his lack of reading comprehension.

That's 13.86 litres, so.. 1 km/h = 68ml of beer.

124.27778 MPH, to be exact.

And it's even more amazing how every day on Fark you can find some idiot that's flaming someone else and misspells the word MORON!

Pot... kettle... white?

You might want to peruse the FarQ...

FArQ has been perused and searched... still no mention of the word "moran". Granted, I understand the meaning behind it (supposedly someone so stupid that he can't even spell "moron"), but the context was a little off.

Plus, something tells me he didn't intentionally use "moran" and meant "moron".

To spare this thread, "moran" comes from a poster that some guy was holding up reading "get a brain, morans". It's an ironic way of spelling "moron" and not a spelling mistake here.

(Ever play that one track backwards? Didn't work so well on cassette :) )

I actually had a copy of that album, on record, and i played it backwards. It was pretty funny, but it was just them arguing. One of them messes up the bit, and they argue about who really messed it up. Unfortunately I now only have a CD copy of it.

Please note that I don't post this to explain the cliche to you, but rather I direct the image's message at you.

But the question is, does lurk moar mean anything to you?

80 km/h speed limit for learners on a highway???

That has got to be really annoying when people drive by you at 130 or whatever the regular speed limit is in Australia.

Some Texan: 124.27778 MPH, to be exact.

Well, if you want to get technical about it, it would come out to just 124 MPH, since the .27778 is such an insignificant number that even your most astute scientists would round down. If it was a slower speed, then the .27778 would be counted in the decimal place as a significant figure since it would play a slightly larger role in the accuracy of the speed.

i've done 143 at 16. i lived(thank god) and no ticket either... my girlfriends uncle couldn't pass me, either. that biatch.

I managed 160km/h once with an 88 Ford Taurus (four door), otherwise standard. The first time it seemed like a big deal, but I did it 3-4 times again afterwards.

/am smarter than that now

Why is this "Spiffy"? This kid could have killed himself or others. There's a reason for the speed limit. Obey it!

I think that in many cases the main reason for a speed limit is to generate revenue.

szutyok: 80 km/h speed limit for learners on a highway??? That has got to be really annoying when people drive by you at 130 or whatever the regular speed limit is in Australia.

110 (or roughly 68mph) on most highways I remember. Yes, having to do 80 sucked ass, although while on my "L's" I very rarely drove outside of the suburbs. I think that's the idea behind it - to keep the kids off the highways until they're used to driving.

1 light year = 3e8 m/s x 365days x 24hours/365days x 3600seconds/hour

Is this really a big deal? Not to turn it into one of those I'VE GONE SUPER FAST IN MY MCLAREN F1 WITH A BIG SPOILER AND BODY KIT AND FLAMES ON THE SIDES. But I've gone 230 km/h on the QEW here in Toronto. It was late (or just really early?) and it was practically empty, I wouldn't do that on a busy highway to endanger other peoples lives except my own :P

/gets ready to be outdone by many others.
//was just making a point.

200kph? I am not impressed.

This sounds like another one of Doc Brown's crazy schemes...

/ONE POINT TWENTY-ONE GIGAWATTS!!!!

Call bullshiat all you want. It was a white 1987 Mk2 GTD, four doors, and no radio.

GET A BRAIN MORAN

And this is news how exactly? There are people caught travelling in excess of 180km/hr on that road on a semi regular basis. I thought this was a repeat of an article I saw 2 days ago, but realised this guy was slightly younger.

scotttothety

What non-Prius driver hasn't gone 120?

Yeah, seriously.

As long as the road's relatively clear and straight, you're paying attention, and the weather is good, it's not really a big deal. Unless you're an idiot who shouldn't be driving in the first place. I really think all driving courses should include track time. In fact, the test should include track time to demonstrate highspeed handling (not 200 km/h, but at least a little over highway speeds), as well as collision avoidance and skid recovery. A driver's license shouldn't be as automatic as it has become, you should actually have to earn it.

I had it on cassette, too. I listened to it hundreds of times. I don't know what they actually said in the backwards part when played forward, but here is the backwards part phonetically:

At aishe noof.

Evora sa.

Eeyera sa.

//Can't believe I still remember the backwards part
///Remeber the time we, uhm, went to the Provincial Park?

So, that comes out to 120mph.

He's 17, thinks he is invincible, and that rules don't apply to him.

Guess what? You can't repeal the law of centrifugal force and big trees don't move.

I get to go to a couple of funerals a year because of this attitude.

TheSnacky Actually, 200 kph comes out to 124 mph.

We have already clarified that. Before you go ahead shooting off your know-it-all attitude, actually read the thread to get a perspective on what the hell everyone else is talking about

There are people caught travelling in excess of 180km/hr on that road on a semi regular basis.

This totally reinforces my earlier opinion. This particular stretch of road is probably straight, smooth and unpopulated. Post a pig every 5 miles and you've got a municipal cash cow.

peace out.

Story #1: Picked up a 3 liter, 5 cyl MB diesel wagon in Germany in 1984. Out on the autobahn it did 106 mph flat out. Even at that you couldn't get into the fast lane for the Porsches and big Mercedes going by at 140.

Story #2: Same MB diesel wagon in Canada. Going down the highway we'd see a sign that said 'Winipeg - 256 km'. My wife would ask, "How far is that in miles?" and I would instantly reply, "About 160 miles." This went on for days, she would check with a calculator and was amazed at my mental acuity until she caught me glancing down at the speedometer and realized I was using it as an analog converter. The two scales, miles and km are superimposed and you can use them to convert approximately but quickly.

Did they ever put that Album out on CD?

I ripped the Vinyl to computer and burnt a copy (still have the mp3's if people are interested.. a little static-y though)

Say what you want to about Germany. But I can see nothing wrong where the drinking age in bars is 16, prostitution and gambling are legal and certain sections of their highway have no speed limit.

/the rest of the world is full of prudes

He was clocked at 200 000 of what per hour?

/the m is important

hey just came back that way the other night doing that speed and some..only worth the risk if its 3 in the morning on a wednesday though.
Was on way back from another 'state' over here which doesnt have posted limits on most of its roads..least until january..motherlovinsonsabiatches..

Anyway poster who said it happens all the time there is right, is about two hours SW of sydney on main highway with 3 plus lanes in either direction..dead straight.
just too tempting for most..
