    Woops. Leæther Strip wrote "Kill a Raver", not "Kill an Arab". A slightly different matter. ;) Don't ask me how my brain switched Arab for Raver. KaЯl wrote: Noted on my search list If you like rough EBM/industrial music, then Leæther Strip is an excellent choice of music. Although, if you suffer from homophobia, then you should probably stop the search. Their theme is pretty much homosexual S/M. :-D (They're danish btw.

    plagiarism: to flatter your predecessors, by quoting them, and flatter your auditory by assuming they know it's a quote. a delicate and thoughtful art indeed. Interesting definition, never heard it described that way. I'll have to remember that one.

    Similarly, I often try guess at the story behind someone or something I see. I imagine that would change to trying to capture their story on film if I got into photography.

    > I keep as far to the right as possible. I only ask of car drivers to keep > as far to the left as possible when they pass me. The problem is that where I am, a *lot* of cyclists don't do that--they'll park themselves in the middle of the lane like any other vehicle (picture yourself in your car pulling up to a red light behind a bicycle). That's an accident waiting to happen, and it does. When someone runs over a cyclist with his car (no matter what stupid thing the cyclist was doing), he doesn't get much sympathy as the city I live in is lead by treehuggers and is trying to push people to leave their cars home and ride their bikes. Plus they had this big "share the road" campaign a while back, but obviously some cyclists misunderstood the message and instead use it as an excuse not to move over. > Someone bicycling in that weather is probably not mentally stable. Could > you blame such a person for keeping up traffic? I've seen it at least twice every week this winter. Even right after a snowfall and you can barely stand up on a sidewalk. How do you expect to stay upright on a bike when making a turn with tires less than an inch wide?
