  1. Just like the climb from the North Adams side but without the tree cover.
    Neat!

    Darn it, I've been reading that place name as "Plan de COJONES" since
    the Giro route came out. You'd need a pair to win that stage, is what I
    reckoned.

    The question begs. Can you do it with one, or one and a neuticle, or two
    neuticles?

    Dumbass,

    You've raised serious questions about whether the Giro
    is actually being held in Italy. This should be
    independently investigated.

    The fact that Italy is densely populated and the race
    is probably being witnessed by [censored] of people doesn't
    mean anything. It just doesn't. Why should it?

    Good point. I'd hate to think that it's really being held in Western Mass.
    and that I'm missing seeing it here. They must have knocked down the trees
    at Greylock to make for better tv signals from the motos.

    True. And you know, they may have already fallen off the end of our flat
    earth. The sphirical conspiracy is world-wide.

    I've already posted on several occasions that the Giro is being held in
    Belgium.
    Nobody listens.

    I'd like to know what equipment you used to build the mountains in Belgium
    ? Was there any outside help involved for example aliens in large blimps
    with australian accents drinking (too much) belgian beer.

    Just remember that Euclid's Postulate I [1] does not hold
    on a sphere. I ask you, how can Earth be a sphere if
    Geometry does not obtain on a sphere?

    [1] Actually the modern formulation is long. The property
    I refer to is that through two points a unique line can be
    drawn.

    The Giro only exists on a render farm of Linux boxes.
    The millions of tifosi are a tifosi class and a random
    number generator. And when they find out who is
    responsible for slipping Greylock into the coverage
    the [censored] is going to hit the fan.

    I'm right about this. Just like I was right about Kunich.
    And some of you refuse to believe that. Not everyone can
    handle the truth.

    Thank god/allah/buddha its not running on windoze boxes (particularly
    using m$ cluster server). Just think how many times the giro (never
    mind the riders) would have crashed.

    I thought all the render farms were in Norway. So its kind of a Giro
    of Norway?

    I haven't climbed Greylock in years. Is the road in that bad shape?

    Well, it's not gravel but it is in pretty bad shape. Climbing is "ok" but
    descending is becoming more dangerous with each passing winter. I really
    wish they weren't paving that climb in Italy.

    The realitysim designers slip this kind of thing in all
    the time. Casual simoccupants never notice, and for the
    minority of passionate fans/simplayers, it's an easter egg.
    The simwriters like that sort of thing - it keeps the devotees'
    attention. The suits upstairs say they don't like it,
    but they like the money it brings in. Sometimes, when
    a project is behind schedule and over budget, they'll
    encourage it and everybody starts to cut corners.
    That's probably what happened with the Giro. Even
    though it's simItaly, the inevitable Italian-style delays
    are in real time.

    You know that feeling of deja vu, when you pass by
    a place and feel like you've been there before?
    You probably have been.

    I still don't believe you about the Kunich-bot.
    The modern craft (it's not exactly a science) of
    artificial intelligence is not yet advanced enough
    to create anything as consistently dumb as Kunich.

    They're having a hell of a time getting the Italian road
    paving methods to work on an Appalachian instance of a
    mountain class. I told those buttheads when they got
    behind that they couldn't expect to just clone an
    Appalachian mountain and get it to work.

    They were supposed to have all the 9/11 stuff wrapped
    up by now. It was another of those no-bid sweetheart
    deals for Halliburton Software, I don't know why
    anyone would have expected any of that [censored] to be
    delivered on time. Dumbasses.

    Everybody knows if you want it delivered on time and with no security
    holes just ask micro$oft.
