So, you have this bridge with an ugly wall under it. And you want to make it a bit nicer looking. So you hire an artist.
Said artist has no better idea than to paint a tunnel onto the wall. Right next to the actual tunnel.
Didn't even take one day until someone crashed into the wall at night.

If anything could put a stake in the heart of this idea, surely the support of a former Greek finance minister should do it:

They obviously should have painted a road-closed barrier too.

I think it's saying βOriginal Flavorβ. Which doesn't really help keep engine distracted, to be sure.

Also, I can't be the only person who's aggravated by the rotary phone one: each digit you dial should start at "1" and increment upward with each "click" as the rotary dial spins.

Put the site in

? Pulling that sort of shenanigans pretty much guarantees that I won't be going back; there's always somewhere else that will tell me what I want to know without sucking at it.

I realize this falls under the rubric of "pedantic dickweedery", but:

The original inventor of Vaseline thought it was a good idea to eat a spoonful of the stuff every day for some kind of health benefit, and he practiced what he preached.
-
Non-edible items that come in multiple varieties are often described as having "flavors" (regular blue Windex, yellow "citrus scent" Windex, purple "whatever the hell purple is" Windex), even in normally staid contexts like newspaper advertising ("Sale on Windex, $2.49 assorted flavors"); Jay Leno even called one of these ads out on his old "Headlines" segment.

@Tsaukpaetra I believe the point of flavored Vaseline is to blow things other than the mind.

Also here. Not arguing with the results, but pouring ink to permanently color eyes seems a bit drastic. Especially without proper studies.

@ben_lubar said in βπ THE BAD IDEAS THREAD:
still not as scary as [Giant cave spider]
Nonono, most of the danger of cave spiders is that they can fit through small gaps so it's hard to make a barrier that you can still see/attack through. A giant one would be less worrisome.
(I use the fence posts that generate in the mineshafts to make barriers. You put them ahead of a 1-block-wide gap - such as between the pillars at a junction - and up to the ceiling.)
-
@CarrieVS a GCS can pass through this gap:

@ben_lubar Fair enough, you win.
-
@CarrieVS They can fit through diagonals, climb walls, and spit webs. Webs tangle you up just long enough for them to bite you, which paralyzes you permanently, if you get my drift. If the webs don't hit anything they just sit on the floor forming an impenetrable barrier between you and the spider.
