Do they simulate low bridges too?

Funny story time....  I was waiting in line to get through a one-lane underpass near my house.  The next vehicle (about two in front of me) was a garbage truck and it had a big green box sitting on top of the truck.  (I know you know exactly where this is going).  Well, that box sits higher than 10.0' off the ground and is full of gas (in the gaseous state, propane I am assuming).  As soon as the truck started under the bridge the box comes off with a bang, falls to the ground and gas starts hissing and you can see the plume of vapor then start to smell that rotten egg aroma.  Of course, with no fuel source, the truck stopped dead in its tracks as well.

You'd think with the technology we have there'd be sensors for the truck drivers to let them know they won't fit. Good thing it didn't do what this car did...

It was funny at first, once I got out of there of course.  Until I realized this was probably his first day on the job...

That's OK. I'm sure these guys will hire him...

Unless you have some sleep disorder...

Or share a room with someone who does...

And sometimes with a stretch, one of the Atari platforms...

[Blaze]

Or leap to some musical band...

These last four posts pretty much sums up our entire 228 pages...

Well, the geeks inside us would find an alternative method that actually looks cooler (at least I think I've got this notation stuff figured out)...

When you embed mini games into your business software, it does make it slightly kewl...

[Blaze]

Or when the developers add themselves to the game  through a hidden area...

While that's cool, I'd like to see how well they would do with just 4K (minus 15 bytes)...

[Blaze]

I bet they could do a lot. I did this with just 29 bytes...

HAHA, awesome!!!  You should look into doing something with batari.  That assembler program reminds me of another time that I wrote a quick little TSR that would randomly pop a message on the screen then hide it.  Then call that in the autoexec.bat, move that autoexec and bury it in a subfolder somewhere, then sector edit the command.com to look at the alternate autoexec.bat...
