Chilling Effects: London Tube has no sensa uma, despite really pun-ready name

London TubeSorry about the ugly link. Firefox is, apparently, not as user-friendly as IE and SPARE ME your dork lectures. Had them already, when I complained about my bike being inconvenient to ride. “Oh, that’s just because you don’t have an A-47.6665DoRKTastic helmet and you insist on wearing regular clothes, rather than buying a whole bike-specific, dorktastic outfit that makes you look like a beefy extra from a 50’s sci-fi movie, and why do you insist on wearing a backpack? Everyone knows you have to use panniers and then when you get to the destination you take the panniers off because otherwise they’d be stolen and presumably you pull your backpack out of them and put them into the backpack and hit a public washroom to change out of your alien reentry costume before going to your meeting…hey, wait! I wasn’t finished! There’s more…

Okay, nevermind. Got IE back, and we, the raincoaster administrative staff, are purtifying our links apace! See, purty link right’cheer to Silly Maps of London Tube

In any case, ignore my bitter, ex-cyclist rantings and click on the link, where you will NOT be able to see a funny, fan-created anagrammatic map of the London Underground. And why can you not see it? Because the Tube Authority (wasn’t that in some Margaret Atwood book?) has decreed it violated copyright. Lest we fergit, Toronto did the same damn thing; apparently, brains are in short supply in the transit industry.
