British Television: The Next Best Thing to Being There, I Assume
Awesome :)
Statistically, the most dangerous roads are those in town where the speed limit is 30. The safest roads are motorways, which have a limit of 70… It seems to me that the best solution is to impose a minimum speed limit of, say, 175mph. Because if you are travelling through suburbia at this speed, it is extremely unlikely that you would retreat into a daydreamy world of work, phone calls and Colin Firth coming out of a lake with a wet shirt.

James May Flying at 70,000 Feet is Pretty Awesome
James May, aka Captain Slow of Top Gear fame cruises at 70,000 feet in a U-2. The sky above turns black and the curvature of the Earth is visible. The only people to have gone higher on a regular basis are SR-71 pilots. Astronauts have but not on a regular basis.
Ed note: The video is 10 minutes long but worth every second.
Just awesome, it’s 10 min long but worth the watch.
