Where is the Random Thread of Randomness stuff that doesn't belong in other threads thread?

When he was young, actor Danny Thomas prayed to St. Jude that if he was successful he would start a hospital in his honor. Today we have the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a free to families cancer treatment center.

If I'm successful I vow to buy an abandoned mall and turn it into a museum of late 20th century malls, a bit like Colonial Williamsburg. Apparently God isn't as interested in a mall reenactment museum as He is in caring for children with cancer.
 
(Jimmy Carr walks onto stage. An awed silence falls over the audience. Jimmy Carr takes a deep breath.)

Jimmy Carr(as loud as he can): ...RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE!

(Jimmy Carr walks off stage before the audience can even applaud. Total time of the show: 8 seconds. NETFLIX are waiting backstage.)

NETFLIX: That was brilliant, have £200 million!

Jimmy Carr: Ah-ha ha ha ha ha ha HAAAAAA!
 
One of the cameras on the front of my car is cracked (probably hit by a freaking pebble). A $3,200 pebble. On the plus side, I just spent 20 minutes in our hot tub (that I definitely don’t use often enough) and I don’t care anymore.
 
I must keep my car running for the rest of my life. 2009. Manual transmission, no ABS, no traction control, no cameras, no collision sensors, no infotainment system. Was in a fender-bender a couple years back and my former insurance company tried for months to total it. At first I was driving a rental and I hated all the garbage on it. It forces you to overthink simple, routine tasks like operating the radio or backing up.

While we're on this subject, I have no idea why modern vehicles have practically everything controlled by a central dash located touch screen interface. Talk about distracted driving issues, this should be primary on the list of shit to be banned.

Yes, more time in the hot tub, less time in the vehicle. I first read that as $32,000. I was like holy shit.
I still haven't heard back about my vehicle yet. I want it back soon before the snow falls again. If it ever does.

The rental I had had it up high enough that it was in your field of view while you were driving. So you're watching the road and all the sudden it does something and you involuntarily look down to see what the car wants.

I 100% agree with that! I think the law in California states I can’t use my cell phone but I can use that big screen on my dash. I find it more distracting to use it than if I just pressed a contact number on my phone and then used the hands free speaker. In many cases it’s just like having my cell on a bigger screen but it’s definitely not easier to operate and in fact the opposite; requires more of my attention.
