...and therefore going on defence/ball collection mode first?
...what are the percentages of winning alliances that are on defence vs. offence during the second period...

defence defense

I just did a spell check and both passed. Why is it that Americans always botch up the English language? Take U out of colour and what is left? I guess that we will just have to live with it, EH!!!

[Greg Needel]

i will blame this on the fact that i lived in Rochester which is close to Canada and i still have a lot of their change floating around. Basically if i can use their money in our vending machines i can spell defense their way also....Wait i just spelled it wrong...grrrrr.


was that a good defence?

Dude, you are an independent country now! Give up those excess vowels and join the US in freedom and liberty!! You already drive on the right and run household appliances on 120VAC: it shouldn't be too big a leap to abandon the whole Queen's English thing.

Well now that the lid is off the pot....as a simple man raised in Ahia, why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

For the same reason a shipment goes by land and cargo goes by sea!

Also for the reason that the only countries that drive on the left (to the best of my recollection) are islands. UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand...

It depends on whether you are Jeff Gordon or work for Burlington Northern...

These great responses are proof that CD is the greatest! Since we shipped our robot I am afraid I have not exercised my brain enough. Thank you, one and all!

Well.. motor vehicles are not allowed on bike paths or bridal trails (horse trails for all you uninformed folks), so I can't use my DC motor powered Segway on them. but I can ride my engine powered dirt bike on it at 20 miles an hour plus..

I love signs. Don't you?
