LOL. True. They (or their engineering counterparts) always seem to turn out in droves for these things.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

It's astonishing though Min how this guy has failed to think the task through. Just think of how tough and rigid the trackway would have to be to stand the repeated usage.
It would also have be some 60ft in length, other solutions are much simpler, but then, some people love the complicated route.

The expression here is "All roads lead to Rome". And yeah, seems appropriate.
