division by 0, would that be cancelled out by multiplying by 0?? in which case if you cant divide by 0, whats 0/0??

Well I guess applying 'BODMAS' that will give you 0/0 and dividing a number by zero gives 'infinite' so I guess you could say he would have serious issues

but that led to my next thought, is infinity multiplied by 0 = 0 ???

My GCQ (Grinch Cantankerous Quotient) comes out at 180 - I think that anyone with a GCQ in excess of 150 is a potential danger to society, and therefore should automatically qualify for a second bike on the NHS.

I'll have a speed triple, thank you

I've just looked at this thread again and theres so much going on...
You have the GCQ..
discussions about maths..
and the stupid MCN story...

busy little thread...

I wouldn't write off the article completely. Yes there will be a certain amount of exaduration, but I expect the government would like to ban bikes. Considering how easily the government can destroy liberty now, I don't think it would be implausable for bikes to be banned before 2020.

Of course, a lot of other people would do the same and it'd be sooooo much safer than the current situation.

Just goes to prove the old adage "if you outlaw bikes, only outlaws will have bikes"

You know those days where you just know you should have stayed in bed?

Yeah...

Makes more sense to ban cars:

Meet the reduction of emssions target
Solve congestion
Improve effeciency of Public Transport
Reduce Traffic related crimes (apart from speeding
)
Reduce road deaths due to *****s who "don't see" bikes

See, This is the wisest choice bar far, just a shame we dont have wise people in power
