Is there some obscene amount of cars flying off the Hoover Dam that they need a bypass?

And how much to the spend on that bridge that justifies saving those cars from having to drive an extra...half mile?

I have no idea. Perhaps they can make it back by leasing the actual dam to Michael Bay for his purposes.  |

They don't want people to blow up the dam. Also that section of road slows down to 25. The new span will be full speed. I wish that span had existed when I was a kid; I remember being stuck for 40 minutes trying to get to my grandparent's house.

That looks like a section of track you'd get in Ridge Racer or the like.
Would a large truck laden with explosives even crack the dam if it exploded on the road? There aren't many solid blocks of concrete bigger than it anywhere on the planet. Perhaps if it was deep down on the lake bed and the water tamped the explosion or something, but on top?

It looks much easier to blow up the bridge. So just blow that up, and when they divert traffic back over the dam you can blow it up as a bonus. |

At a guess, I would think the impetus for putting in the bypass is to reduce wear on the dam more than anything else.

It's also a surprisingly high traffic area, even if you factor out tourists. The congestion relief alone makes that bridge awesome.

Driving over the hoover dam is awesome, who'd want to use the bypass!  |

How fucked would the people downstream of the dam be if it ever actually broke? I'm assuming super fucked.

Super fucked. Plus all of Henderson and Las Vegas would lose their water supply.

It looks like the stuff he's giving out has no candy in it, and something with the President's seal stamped on to it. He's gonna get TPed if he isn't careful.

Beats getting TBed.
Love the face Michelle is making, I think white house guards should dress as stormtroopers all the time, why the hell are there two klanspeople there? I think the one with the sassy boa is Sarah Palin. IT'S A TRAP!
Also, I would not mess with the black security dude. He's got the look. And the white-wigged woman needs to put away the goddamned blackberry, ffs.

The president.
Probably a good move to, I can only imagine the many different ways people would have spun ANY costume he picked.

-stuff- I think white house guards should dress as stormtroopers all the time -more stuff-
This thread would be filled with camera phone shots of white house tours...but i concur. It would be awesome. Or even ninjas with all the fixin's (throwing stars, katanas, nunchucks...). The president.

Of course he couldn't go wrong with a Joker costume... too much? |

Yeah, sadly theres no way he could dress up as anything without the political meaning being analyzed and argued over across the media for a week.
But yes, he should have gone as the Joker.

The real question is whether he had Michelle keep the cat ears on.

What may at first appear to be an insurmountable obstacle will in time be seen for what it really is: an impenetrable barrier.

Assuming that's some random kid and the whole thing an event sorta like the Easter thing the White House does, that Blackberry probably has the list of kids so Obama can greet them by name. My impression of the Klansmen in the back is that they're chefs, and those are some dorky-ass informal chef hats. |
