The amazing and cool photo thread

I killed two black widow spiders in my garage yesterday. One of them had a little ball of eggs waiting to hatch. I felt kind of bad, but then I didn't.

I don't much like you anymore. Spider murder is no laughing matter.

ok, well maybe just a little it is.

BOO!!!

Not to big a deal really, just used you as an example of tire wear mastery when setting out a pit strategy for my team mate for some races last night. I recalled you always had more tire than anyone else in any race I attended where you were there also, usually winning, with more fuel and tires than everyone else.

Ah, yeah.

For reference, the population of Fargo is 113,658! That is insane.

Why was there an international soccer match in a (very weird) college football stadium?

Pre-season friendlies between the world's two biggest football clubs explains the attendance. Why it was that stadium in particular? I don't know.

That's interesting. I wonder exactly how they are measuring 'biggest stadium'; by capacity or area? Michigan Stadium doesn't look as impressive externally, to me at least, compared to other stadiums in the United States such as Cowboys Stadium, the MetLife Stadium or the new Yankee Stadium.

Biggest stadia tend to be ranked by capacity, rather than floorplan.

Seating capacity. Michigan's is 109,901. It was built with footings to allow continued expansion. The designer imagined it needing to reach 150,000 one day.

The look is an optical illusion. Large capacity is achieved by a wider diameter. The wider a stadium gets the less tall it will look if it doesn't grow up at a 1:1 ratio. MetLife Stadium is very tall, with three tiers. Michigan has one tier.

 

[DG_Silva]

The San Siro is a three tier stadium that has a capacity of 80,000. That doesn't neccessarily mean a high level of seating.

No that was Topp taking it.

I think Skid was playing with the dog, Barx.

Ah yes. And of course, their cousin Howard wasn't there that day because he was still in gaol for drug offences.

Here, have a photo or two...

I believe their cousin Tread took the picture.
