    He and I both grew up in quite conservative towns (he in central Texas, I in NW Ohio). He was actually a devout Christian for a 1/3rd of his life and has moved beyond that. I have never been filled with the holy spirit as he was, but growing up in a town of 7000 people with 20+ churches (only 1 Catholic, rest Protestant), I'm sure I've gotten to know many a person of the faith.

    No, you just decribed trust in your wife. If you are shown a polaroid that she has been adulterous, she gets divorce papers; we show creationists "polaroids" all the time, but they choose to remain in their "marriage" to their imaginary friend.

    My supervisor said it best... once you have faith, you don't need to look for anymore proof. There's no need to find a better answer - no need to strive for higher learning of how the world works. If you are a faith-based person, things just happen "because they are supposed to."

    BLAH.

    I'm more interested in this monstrosity on the same page. Why in the hell do you need a "STRAIGHT" signal?

    In light of the new Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2054 which comes into effect from 27th February 2055, Suzuki New Zealand is one of the first car manufacturers to introduce a road-code friendly vehicle, code-named Suzuki Swifted.

    Suzuki spokeswoman Miss Sukiyaki told NZBest.com Suzuki Swifted is specially designed in response to a particular new road code where drivers must indicate before entering and exiting a roundabout.

    Figure 1 illustrates one of the common roundabout encounter. If you're going straight through a roundabout, you must indicate "STRAIGHT", and as soon as you have passed the first exit, you must immediately indicate "LEFT" and exit the roundabout.

    Roundabout Figure 1Roundabout Figure 2

    In Figure 2, a scenario of turning right at a roundabout, you must first indicate "STRAIGHT", as soon as you have passed the first exit, you must then indicate "RIGHT", and right after the 2nd exit, you must indicate "LEFT" to exit the roundabout.

    Miss Sukiyaki reassures consumers that the newly installed "STRAIGHT" indicator is built with the highest quality known to mankind and tests showed 2 million hours life from one bulb. "In most cases, as your car is going forward, you must have the "STRAIGHT" indicator on at all time. So it's just common sense to make the "STRAIGHT" bulb lasts a lot longer," said Miss Sukiyaki.
