DIBS, how about this one: Why aren’t drapes double sided so it looks nice on the inside and outside of your home?

I’m sorry to have ruined your afternoon fun, Biff.”
It’s ok, I’m used to it. Anyway, it’s my fault for not asking for the Monumental Axis DNA evidence first.
bxgrl, make sure you go back to yesterday’s Remsen Street Trophy House thread and read NOP’s posts. They’re terrific reading.
I’m sorry to have ruined your afternoon fun, Biff.
biff- we depend on you, our President, for fun. We depend on dibs for other things.
DIBS, thanks for ruining all the fun. You’re correct. According to Wiki, “A common urban legend persists that the Monumental Axis is the widest road in the world, where “[100 to 160] cars can drive side by side”. This is untrue, as the road consists of two avenues with six lanes on either side; a total of twelve lanes. However, it was in the Guinness Book of Records as having the widest median of a divided highway in the world.”
I just thought you would have some fun riffing on the words “Monumental Axis”, “Brazil”, “world’s widest road”
Biff, link please. I don’t believe the road is 1,600 feet wide…160 x 10′
Slightly stronger formulation.
Did you know:
160 cars can drive side by side on the Monumental Axis in Brazil, the world’s widest road.
