Mmmmm

Oh man, I could easily eat that whole thing. I'd yell at myself later for it, but I'd do it.

More likely, I'd eat 1/3 of it and rationalize that at least I didn't eat half.

It still reminds Me of a Giant Oreo Cookie...

Can you fix the steering wheel
so it will drive on the right
side of the road?

It already drives on the correct side of the road!

The correct side for the UK, Australia, Japan and possibly New Zealand only I think.

Vic, they cant afford cars in New Zealand. They only have skate boards and they ride them on the footpaths (sidewalks for our American viewers).
EDIT: and they skate on any side they want.

We went through this a few months ago. Someone found a rather extensive list of countries where they drive on the left, the silly gits.

Good to know. Footpath has a subtly different connotation here.

Basically, a sidewalk is almost always concrete (old ones, or new ones made to look old, can be brick) and runs alongside a roadway, or leads from a roadway or other place where vehicles are operated or parked to the door of a building (the latter type can also be stone). Anything other than that is a footpath, whether it's a dirt trail through the woods or a gravel or asphalt trail on what used to be a railroad right of way (these are usually intended for riding bikes and horses as well). There is some overlap in the case of one going across a park, or university campus, or something of that sort, and not alongside a roadway but still constructed of concrete.

At least that's how it is in my mind. But then, I'm the one who ruled that spiders are bugs.

Hey thanks for that, i think that sidewalk translates exactly to footpath in Australia. I dont think we have words for paths in Os like you do in America.

We make it easy here, any man made hard surface for walking on is called a footpath while anything else is considered a walking track.

Cheers.

Study this picture carefully. The big big bit where the cars go is the road. The skinny bits on each side where the poeple go are the footpaths. Simple, easy. So all you foreigners stop getting technical because this is how it is in Oz.
