is the michelin man racist? he's made of stacks of tires, right? why is he white? tires are black
I take the internet's ability to let me meet people all around the world for granted sometimes. Then there are times like a few minutes ago where I was playing poker on facebook and got into a discussion with two guys from different parts of Australia. Both were miners and one was discussing how he's trying to work his way up to train driver in the mines he works in. He works 2k underground every day and acts like it's nothing. One worked in a nickel mine and the other in a coal mine. Nice fellows. If I had told myself as a kid I'd be able to do that it would have seemed like Science fiction.
here's one for polo and fly:

"If Bibendum was made of tires, the reader may ask, why wasn't he black? Simple answer: Tires weren't black until 1912, when makers first began adding carbon black as a preservative. Until then they were either a gray-white or a light, translucent beige."

"To this day his official name is Bibendum, the Latin gerundive meaning "drinking to be done.""
I LOVE the Michelin Man!

I farted in the 7-11 by my house yesterday and I made a homeless guy in there gag. I was almost proud.
