Which of the following cars would you prefer to drive?
a) The Oscar Mayer Wiener-Mobile
b) The Team Audi Le Mans r10
c) The ZZ Top '33 Ford Eliminator
d) The L'Oreal Group Lotion Awareness Bugatti
I absolutely cannot answer this
The Eliminator is the only choice that fits the following four badass car categories: It is extremely fast, street legal, something you can work on in your own driveway, and it is an established chick magnet.
The colony of honey fungus under Oregon, potentially spanning 2200 acres, 605 tons, and is estimated at 2400 years old. Alternately, at 106 acres, "a grove of male Aspen in Utah, nicknamed Pando (Populus tremuloides). The grove is connected by a single root system, and each stem above the ground is genetically identical."

Who was responsible for all of us using "hello" as a greeting?
Thomas Edison, previously ahoy-hoy had been used but Edison preferred hello as it was loud, clear, and concise.
This is really only about answering the phone.
Alexander Graham Bell wanted people to say "ahoy" because he was a navy man.
At the time "Hello" was more equivalent to "what is it?"
Also make note that Edison was a tremendous asshole.
Man way back in the 90s there was a radio commercial:
*ringring*
"Hello?"
"Watson, come in here, I need you." At this point I was beaming because it was a piece of trivia, an obscure piece of trivia, that I had told other people several times since I was a kid.
*stompstompstompstomp*
"Yes, Thomas?"
