I was watching the first of C4's the "War on Terra" series about climate change. In it Marcel Theroux interviewed the chairman of Shell. He, the chairman, seemed like he was just about to suggest the we all use a little less fuel when his PR person curtailed the interview. Anyway, the interesting shot at the end of the interview was him stood next to his neatly folded Brompton.
Tonight's programme, about US car culture, is asking what car Jesus would drive. It sounds like he'll not be a cyclist.

And the answer is a Honda Accord:

*One* Accord? How big is an Accord?

Twelve Apostles in an Accord should be easy;
"The greatest number of people to fit in a Mini was achieved on July 3, 2000, when a total of 18 women crammed into a Mini Cooper outside the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, West Midlands, UK. This team beat the previous record, set by the Reading Ladies’ Rugby Club (UK), by one person."

Did anyone watch the prog? I was amused by the interview with the ex-MIT student going to protest outside the Ford plant about their addiction to oil and harm to the environment. The interview was filmed as she drove to the protest!
