Me: I am so blogging this.

Q: Can you describe the quality of the Prius’s silence when you pull up to a stoplight and the gas engine shuts off entirely?

A: It is the deepest, bone-settled stillness of a kind only experienced by the greatest Zen masters after many decades of study, punctuated by the hammering riffs of System of a Down because the Prius now comes with a six-speaker surround-sound package from JBL, baby!

Definitely time to change that pairing code.

I was so dumbfounded/impressed that someone actually built this horrible contraption out of marquee tags, I saved it, and modified it to protect the guilty. Submitted for your viewing pleasure:

It’s a little b0rked in Firefox, as it keeps on scrolling, FOREVER, but I feel that just adds to it’s charm.
