Essentially it’s ZipCar for bikes. You walk up to the stand, swipe your membership card, the bike automatically unlocks and you’re off. The sweet thing is that you can return the bike to any of the stands around the city, and they’re everywhere.

I saw all sorts of people zipping around on these bikes, running errands, heading to work, etc. Can we have this in NYC? Pretty please?

Your steed awaits!

Note: First half hour is free!

This truck goes around and redistributes the bikes to make sure there is always one waiting for you,

I won’t bore you with all the tales of times it has randomly displayed things that I had been improbably talking about earlier in the day, or the many times it has displayed something embarrassing/weird/offensive when somebody was looking over my shoulder.

What I will tell you about is this:

Today it opened with an article on “-Izzle”, as in “for shizzle”. Finding this amusing, I read on, leading to my favorite thing of the day. In trying to explain its usage the author(s) offers us this:

Although there are no hard-and-fast rules governing its usage, in general, the izz infix technique is performed by inserting izz, usually after a word’s last pre-vowel consonant in its final syllable without deleting any letters.Examples: minute becomes minizzute, and Kazakhstan becomes Kazakhstizzan. One-syllable words generally translate better with this technique: cream becomes crizzeam, for example.

Kazakhstan becomes Kazakhstizzan?!? That is your example? I salute you sir/madam for your absurdity is sublime.
