When looking at statues of "fertility goddesses", bring a teenage boy. That shit wasn't evidence of a "cult of fertility", it was porn.

New York state requires seat belts on all the buses, but there's no way for a driver to ensure all the kids are wearing them.

NY is also the only state that does not paint the "rub rails" on the outside black; the buses are entirely school bus yellow. I have no idea why this is the case.

An interesting aspect of school bus fatalities is that over the last few decades there have been a roughly equal number of deaths for drivers and for passengers. Since school buses typically have a lot more riders than the single driver, this means that driving a school bus is likely a lot riskier than riding in one.

One interesting feature of modern school buses is that the body is clipped to the chassis rails so that in a head-on collision the body will slide forward a couple of feet after the chassis stops. This greatly reduces the deceleration forces experienced by the riders. This video shows it in action.

Speaking as a school bus driver, I may or may not enjoy seeing snot-nosed little children being thrown about violently.

I've never heard song lyrics correctly. When this song first came out, I thought she was singing "stop it stop it stop it".

King Crimson is closer to The Backstreet Boys than it is to Fripp and Eno.

My favorite scene was when Blackadder kicked Tiny Tim's crutch out from under him on Christmas morning.
