While it seemed like a fun prank at the time, I realize my prank fire extinguishers full of leaded gasoline were a mistake.

I wonder why solar cars are bad?
Not enough power. A car is not a 1500 watt appliance.

I… am strangely ambivalent and conflicted about soup.
I recognize logically and rationally that it should be lower or to the left, but would personally place it higher or to the right.
Maybe smack dab in the centre gives us the worst of both options.
If anyone else is also curious on why "putting mold on infections" is more good than crumple zones:
They [molds] also play important roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of various pigments, foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. - Wikipedia

Hmm, I had never thought of it...but soup is absolutely a neutral experience. Even a good soup on a cold, winter day is still slightly above neutral, and is improved by non-soup add-ins.
Yesterday I heard a conspiracy theory that the reason lead was added to gasoline was to keep the Pouge carburetor from becoming viable because it allegedly used pre-heated gas vapor to achieve 100-200mpg efficiency, but the lead clogged it up instead.
Here's my own counter-conspiracy on that... if everything we read says that it didn't actually work, why did Breen Motor Company claim it worked when THEY tried it? And why did Pouge suddenly disappear?
Heelies should be at least below the middle line.
