The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Everything is happening in Frankfurt this weekend. The tram driver Olympics is going on as well. You get to watch them run trains into balls!

That’s ridiculously silly.

Why can you just be happy with putting a much more train like vehicle, such as a bus, on tracks instead?
