Bradley Wiggins has broken the holy grail of cycling and set a new Hour record of 54.526km. That's an absolutely fantastic achievement 
See here[^] for the full story.

Agreed, he's a top man. This is one of those records that is always going to escalate as it is so iconic and it's absolutely fitting that Sir Bradley should hold it.

Naive moi to think that mega-site cleans house regularly of scam-a-ramas, and videos containing links to dodgy sites offering to download copyrighted content to you for free ... if you sign-up (which I assume is equivalent to downloading the latest bot-infestation).
I recently discovered a 1928 full-length (b&w, no talkie) movie, "The Man Who Laughs," on there, which was a wonderful treat; I assume that's no longer copyrighted. If you have a very long attention-span, and, perhaps, have read the novel by Victor Hugo (I read it age 13, in 1956) and found it moving, and you enjoy highly stylized cinema: well, check it out. But, it's not for everybody.
When I went on the site today to see what they had in the way of content related to the Polish 1965 movie "Rękopis znaleziony w Saragossie," "The Saragossa Manuscript," which I was discussing with a friend by e-mail, a favorite of mine since the late 1960's when I watched it in the UC Theater in Berkeley, a cinema (perhaps, more accurately: a "movie joint") known for its ... uhhh ... atmospheric fragrance, as well as phenomenon like people sitting down in front of you, opening Chinese take-out, and eating it with chopsticks, loudly ... I'm not making this up 
But, no: the site's a pigpen full of invitations to put your snout into illegal troughs and root.
Gobsmacked, I.

"...pigpen full of invitations to put your snout into illegal troughs ..." LOL, good point and funny metaphor, and BTW, "Cul-de-sac" of Polanski is also a nice movie ...

Thanks, Tachyonx, I'll look for that film: if it's a "frame story" (stories-within-stories) and/or recursive, that's my cuppa java.

I see your train overflow[^] and raise you an integer overflow[^].
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You might have raised People overflow.

Well, Ravi-ji, I'm not going to tell you which sexual organ of which gender that syllable could refer to in Thai, given the right flavour (one of six-or-so possible) intonation.
cheers, Bill

Seen Mad Max yesterday.
That's over two hours of over the top action and little to no story line.
We have fire spewing guitars, exploding everything, really big cars that spew fire and explode, crazy people who explode, some more explosions and did I mention the explosions?
Must see 10/10

I dunno.
Sounds like it needs more explosions.
