Just google earthed it. WTF is with you americans? Is every fucking place over there divided into neat little perfect squares? :argh!: This explains the automotive windowlicker convention that is Nascar - none of you poor bastards have ever driven a car around a proper corner have you? Only a nation with no drivable roads could possibly invent a motorsport where you just drive round in circles. It all makes perfect sense now.

I'd expect this sort of attitude from the people who thought the bagpipe was a logical choice for an instrument.

A lot of American roads, highways, are perfectly, unbelievably straight.  I have seen them, and I have subsequently beaten the fuck out of cars trying to get somewhere, anywhere on them.  In New England we have these things called curves.  I imagine somewhere between them a stretch of straight highway exists but I haven't found it yet.

Keep in mind American cars (not just the ones from American companies) are prone to overturn and burst apart for sheer size and the weight they bear of an entire family stuffing themselves with super value meals.  The gallons of soft drink alone would crush your puny European cars.  And yes, I say this in full knowledge of your enthusiasm for deep frying.

We have curves like that around here. Because we have hills. Places that have flat have a lot of straight roads. People sometimes fall asleep on them.

Our city is mostly on a grid. Except the hills.

I've heard tell that the great cross country highways have a very slight curve in them, to do with the curvature of the earth.

I quite like cities that are laid out on a grid, because they make sense and you can figure out where you are and how to get where you need to be even if you don't know the city very well.

it's especially a treat after spending most of the last 7 years in a state (Maine) with a grand total of 4.3 miles of straightaways.

So they stole a horrible instrument from the French?  That's even worse.

yeah, but the Scots were the ones who thought highly enough of them to make them a point of national pride. And the basis for their most noteworthy contribution to the culinary world as well. Not a stellar track record, if you ask me.

I thought our most noteworthy contribution to the culinary world was Gordon Ramsey, and he looks more like a bawsack than bagpipes.
