If they put a set of hub gears (e.g. Sturmey Archer) in this[^], I'd be sorely tempted.
Not sure I'd want a full-sized one, though. It'd distract cr@p drivers too much.

That's a tricky one! How many letters? 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I agree, but entertainment is usually valued more than forwarding the human race or saving lives etc.
Mostly because the saving lives you don't see until someone directly saves your life - until then it is easy to be oblivious or not value the service.
As for forwarding the human race, we don't get to see the results quickly enough and if we do, they are too complicated or bring change. That is the one thing that we fear a lot.
Also wars happen elsewhere so it's easy to ignore soldiers risking their lives.
To be clear I do not condone this, just acknowledge that this kind of mentality exists. I fully agree with what you meant here.
A lot of people are more interested in what celebrities eat for breakfast, rather than can someone who works an honest days work even eat breakfast.
EDIT: Oh and we love distractions - to be entertained, makes life easier.

No, they do not do any of those things. They just attract enough fools who pay those salaries plus some humble profit.

Curious, the HTML in my both "My Settings" and "Click to edit signature" are both:
<a href="www.keithbarrow.net">KeithBarrow.net</a>[<a href="http://www.keithbarrow.net" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] - It might not be very good, but at least it is free!
You might have spotted a featurette there. The open in a new window actually works though, perhaps it is a cunning plan by Chris to keep you here 
[Edit]
Forgot to say thanks, so errmm, thanks!

Modify it like this:

That's why I watch the rugger. 6 Nations kick off tonight with the Welsh trying to intimidate the English; a skill the England XV are capable of without the help of any opposition. Then tomorrow, Italy will lose at home and Scotland will capitulate in Paris.
As a side note, Biggle's geography teacher will be playing for the Welsh. In the ladies match on Sunday in Swansea.

I've been saying that for years about footballers and other entertainers but no-one wants to listen.
Who is worth more to the world: a Christiaan Barnard, or a David Beckham? And who gets the better lifestyle?

Professional football is not harmfull. If it inspres people to play, it is even healthy. So why critize it?
Do you blame your local pub owner for selling something that is unhealthy, namely alcohol? As long as what we do for a living is legal it makes no sence to rate it. With suregeons on top and down to professional football players, if you want.

National Health Service figures show that almost twice as much is spent on sports injuries than is spent on everything that is attributed to drinking and smoking -- even the spurious rubbish about passive smoking, and what have you (European figures: 7,000 deaths and 30,000 disabilities caused by playing sports per year -- source[^]).
Exercise is good for you, sport is where you get hurt, and where you waste taxpayers' money.

I'm sorely temtped to troll FB, "these dangerous activities are too available and to cheap, costing the NHS - ban sport now!".

I wrote a satirical something about it a while ago. When I get the chance, I'll clean it up and stick it on my site.

Isn't it? Young [mostly] boys look up to these turnips as an example of manhood. The footballers earn way too much for what they actually do and* have a massive sense of entitlement - they* behave very arrogantly on and off the pitch. It's commonplace to see these paragons absolutely hammered, having fights and, in a few high profile cases, committing acts of rape. I don't know about you, but I'd consider idolising such people harmful.
*mentally insert the word "often" here

Especially when the F.A. recently appeared to be willing to let a convicted rapist resume his role as a role model for young impressionable males.
I was glad to see every club who considered it back down under public outcry.
I'm all for rehabilitation, but he could get that stacking shelves, or painting lines on the road.
