Sorry; it shouldn't insult the brain.
When I saw Speed, the damn movie lost me at the bus jump. I said, "No way!" and I never regained the sense that I was watching anything other than a fantasy. A movie shouldn't do that to you.

I always get a kick out of Star Trek (any series) when all the other species speak English and use Earth time. I guess American English is the universal language after all.

| I ride buses like that in DC; they can't even leap potholes.

That's because potholes have the same attractive power as plate glass windows. Sheesh, Theo, I thought everyone knew that.

What you need is a famous movie star actor to drive the thing!

He he M_Six I've always noticed that about the Star Trek series they talk Engilsh and use Earth time but they use the metric system not the imperial system.
Distance is in kilometers or meters not miles or feet, temperature in is Celsius not Fahrenheit, speed is in kmph not mph.  | |
