Interesting

[JustGeorge]

Say something interesting.

I don't care what it is.

It can be something you found in your couch cushions, something that happened when you were 5, or a trivial fact you haven't had the opportunity to share in awhile. Or anything else you can think of, so long as its interesting!

Go!

My favorite, or at least in the top ten, book quotes: This one is from As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner -- I hope you can read cursive. LOL

I've driven a Pagani Zonda R around the Nurburgring in under 9 minutes. Not really a great time for professional driver but I'm not a professional driver ;-).

Interesting?

Hummus is a great source of fibre.

Hummus is a great source of fibre.

Medical examinations carried out posthummusly confirm this.

How did it feel to hear the cosmic howl of that V12 engine while redlining it?

I don't need to be dead to know it!!

I learned something interesting on a recent trip to Normandy. William the Conqueror, known to the English as a Norman interloper, is celebrated in Normandie as an empire builder, law giver, and warrior for Christianity. He is known in the magnificent medeaval city of Rouen as “Guillame Le Conquerant.”

His presence, and that of Joan of Arc - Ste Jeanne d’Arc - can be seen and felt everywhere in Rouen. And a visit to the heart of Normandy brought home to me a certain historic commonality between French and English culture.

@Rival , if you haven’t been to Rouen yet, you truly must, I think you’d love it.

Talking of book quotes, i would love to read.

"It was the day that the pope forgot to take her birth control pill."

I never have and i am unlikely to but it's an interesting dream i think.

Indeed, I want to. I have a historical crush on Wilelm.

Not sure you'd understand from my point of view but literately orgasmic

I'm sure I couldn't possibly understand exactly what that glorious experience was like unless I had a similar one. Hearing Ferrari V12s in videos is incredible enough. I can only imagine being behind the wheel of such a beast!

but literature orgasmic

I can believe that.

 

[ChristineM]

I can believe that.

No worries. I got what you meant anyway!

I didn't. I just thought @ChristineM really enjoyed her literature.

Sometimes such beasts are available to hire for a few laps.

I would probably be scared of crashing or damaging it considering how much it costs.

What happens in that case? Are track rentals insured?

Yes, with dedicated track insurance. Not under normal insurance

Go!

We just got home. We, and several others had a flight cancellation from San Fran to Edmonton. That little group of 80 people (reduced over time) from extremely different backgrounds soon became a new sort of tight little club on our own simply by being on a plane, then off a plane, then standing around waiting for something to happen, for many hours. It was interesting to me how the 'village' formed so quickly, yet dissipated entirely just 29 hours later. How one unique experience bonds!

How was the trip?
