Can I post a bike question in here?

[ClichéGuevara]

I'm not sure which other bit it would fit in, but how many wheels should a quad bike have?

My mates got one with only four wheels, surely a quad bicycle should have eight?

On a similar note of things that confuse me. What are the 16 things that a 4x4 relates to, and why don't they call it a 16 instead setting a quiz on the car door? Are ordinary cars 8's or 4x2's?

Silly isn't it?

My pet hate is people who get dates wrong - for example almost everybody celebrated the new millenium on 1 January 2000 when the 20th century still had a year left to run. Muppets.

Think this should be in SCP...this will need a few hundred pages of argybargie..At least..

and also is a bicycle 1x2?

It wasn't new here anyway. I saw other countries on TV already using it. We got a second hand year.

Argybargie, or the General Belgrano as it's better known as.

ordinary cars are 4x2.. four wheels, two driven.

as for the millennium... it's not worth worrying about.... the calendars are all made up anyway and have been fiddled with when shown not to work. For me, it makes more sense to mark the new century at the *000 mark... only insane pedants think *001 is the correct and only way

And what's with 3 door and five door cars?

THE ONE AT THE BACK IS NOT A DOOR, IT'S A TAILGATE!

wasn't it make the boot / hatchback versions sound a bit more different?

Unless it's on a chav chariot, then apparently it's a hatch.

 

[MontyVeda]

that's not ordinary

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Surely it gets bonus points for being extraordinary?

When they found the calenders didn't work, did they try turning them off and on again?

Calenders are pants though. One of the few certainties in life is that night follows day (or is it vice versa) how do they come up with a way of counting that gets it so far wrong, that I've got to work a day for nothing every four years?

you should have arranged an hourly rate instead of a salary

Why is it called a 'near miss' when two planes nearly collide in mid-air. More like a bloody near hit, FFS.
