MIT Offers City Car for the Masses

MIT's stackable electric car, a project to improve urban transportation will make its debut this week in Milan. "The City Car, a design project under way at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is envisioned as a two-seater electric vehicle powered by lithium-ion batteries. It would weigh between 1,000 and 1,200 pounds and could collapse, then stack like a shopping cart with six to eight fitting into a typical parking space. It isn't just a car, but is designed as a system of shared cars with kiosks at locations around a city or small community."

Two words: Personal. Hygiene. It's not that hard to wash it every day or two, you should be doing that anyway. Maybe if you weren't so worried you'd go to hell for even touching it... Circumcision is primarily performed in in first-world countries among puritan-based societies because it makes masturbation more difficult. In my mind, aiding dogmatic repression of a harmless activity at the expense of utility and sensitivity is not just stupid, but highly unethical.
