Where should you stop for a stop light or stop sign?

  1. One ore more car lengths away from the stop line
  2. At the stop line
  3. At the crosswalk
  4. At the curb
  5. Any of the above

Moliner's Answer:

E. Anywhere you like

A. Someone who stops here is usually an older woman. As if she stopped the car when the hood visually “touched” the stop line.

Conventional Answer

Trick question!

E.It could be any of the above, depending on the markings or situation.

  1. If someone is walking in the road, you should stop.
  2. Most intersections have full markings, so the stop line is the normal place.
  3. If there is no stop line, stop before the marked crosswalk.
  4. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the curb.

For a stop sign, you are supposed to stop at the first marked line. If you don’t have adequate vision due to an obstruction, you pull forward until you can see, and then stop again.

I finally got a full harvest off of this vine (before birds, etc.) These grapes are pretty sour, if you just pick and eat. And seedy. However, I always thought they might make good jelly or something. So this year, I have lots of grapes to try something.

Basically, the process is:

Raspberry-Vanilla Pudding

Submitted by drew on

We have a picnic on July 4 where we are supposed to bring a dish. An hour before the picnic... what should we bring? We have lots of fresh-picked raspberries and that vanilla pudding I got last week. After a few minutes of Google-searching for things that use those two ingredients (no results, except for baked items and stuff of the wrong kind), I am going to make my own recipe for this.
