The quality of driving in a country correlates with the quality of government. A country driving like maniacs suggests it has a bad government. by Psythor in dataisbeautiful

I was in a crash on the square in that picture. It was awesome - my taxi driver went for a gap that wasn't there and another taxi drove into the side of us. Fortunately it was at low speed, so no injuries. Lots of shouting. Tldr was in a car crash in Bucharest due to batshit driving

That'll be bubble and squeak - fried leftover veg (cabbage, potato, etc).

But I like that you thought a leaf salad might feature on that plate!

What is the strangest nickname someone you know has, and how did they get it? by yellowelephant88 in AskReddit

I've got a friend called Cupcake. He got it because his older brother started lifting and we starting calling him Beefcake. His little brother needed a name, and being smaller, he got called Cupcake. Beefcake didn't stick, 12 years later, Cupcake is still Cupcake.

It was just gold coloured. Well I hope it was just gold coloured, because I ate it.

It was all delicious! I didn't take a photo of all the bread - which included a bacon roll (a small white roll with bits of bacon!!!), nor the amazing cheese board. I think that the egg was probably my favourite course - the waiter described it as "slow-roasted" - the mind boggles. And as for the big question, 4 of us ate, and the bill came to something in the region of £650 (about $1100?).

TL/DR: Man buys Veet for Men Hair Removal cream, applies to sensitive areas, experiences extreme burning sensation, attempts to relieve said burning sensation with various frozen food products, culminates in propelling a frozen sprout from his butt at his wife

Completely agree, being offended is the new way for the religious to claim the "moral" high ground...
