Carrefour is the French word for crossroads, I believe? 4 years of French class hasn't been a total waste of time then.

Believe it or not we are still in an ice age. An ice age is defined as a period in time when there are polar ice caps.
Hannu, who art in Finland, Räbinä be thy name. Sim racers come, races are won, at Agari, as at Xupong. Give us this day our version 1.06, and forgive us all our impatience, as we race those who challenge against us. Lead us not into boredom, but deliver us from work. For thine is the GeneRally, and the AI, and the race cars. Amen!

Lobsters don't die of old age. In fact, they continue to get larger, and MORE sexually productive the older they get.

Did you know the 1975 and 1982 Swiss GPs were actually held in Dijon Prenois, France?

And that Keke Rosberg had his first career victory there in 1982, and that victory was his only one in that season, and he won the F1 Championship on that same season with only that victory? :)

It's because the tracks would normally be considered too dangerous if the tracks were built a few years ago but because they were built over 80 years ago and because they were so special to the F1 calendar they kept them no matter what. If there was an F1 season without Monaco and/or Spa nobody would watch it anymore.

It only is the reason on Monaco. Spa is longest than the FIA limit.

Did you know that April 20th is celebrated by cannabis users? Or that Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th 1889? Or that exactly 365 days ago the BP oil spill started? It really is a weird day today!
