          Best self-referential post in this thread. Even better than this one. Or is this a self-referential-referential post?

            Helicopter is not from heli + copter

            It’s helico (latinized Greek helixos = spiral) + pter (from Gk. pteron = wing)

                        Because his day-job is winning F1 races, and even he's going to struggle to do that in a Ferrari.

                        I was only joking

                            He drives for the Mercedes F1 team.

                            He makes about $20 million a year just in salary, Plus endorsements, etc.. He can definitely afford the Ferrari. lol

                                Why do football players wear rubber bands around their biceps?

                                These items are called bicep bands. They are made of a variety of materials: some are nylon, some are cotton, some are synthetic blends, etc.

                                Bicep bands are used to catch and absorb sweat on the arms. They prevent the sweat on the shoulders and upper arms from sliding down to the forearm and hands. It's no different than how a head band prevents sweat from dripping down the forehead and getting into the eyes. There is some debate about how well they work, but that's what they are designed for.

                                        I rented an Infiniti Q50 last week. It actually had an ashtray and a cigarette lighter. Haven't seen those in years. Surprising for a rental car.

                                        I was thoroughly unimpressed. My Murano, a year older, has much better features and bells and whistles.
