Absolutely The Pinnacle Of “I Have No Idea What’s Going On”

Absolutely The Pinnacle Of “I Have No Idea What’s Going On”

Gaelic yelling, cars jostling like piglets at the teat, policemen re-enacting the chariot race in Ben Hur, everyone driving all over the road, all directions, steering wheels on the right, a road-marking system devised by Salvador Dali, and then a bunch of people gather in the middle of the road and chat.

Records are made to be broken, of course. Breedlove broke his own record twice, and a handful of guys have since, including Andy Green of Great Britain, who went over 250 mph faster than you see in this video, and broke the speed of sound.

But every single person that stretches the bounds of human ability and endeavor deserves to be mentioned with all that come after. We stand on the shoulders of giants. It’s why we see so far.
