That bridge appears to have a crossbar mounted separate from the bridge structure in front of the bridge. Probably a good call, considering the number of people who think they fit but don’t. That means the bridge never sees the impact loads from those clueless drivers. Really important, given the safety concern that would raise after every impact if the impacts were to the bridge structure.

There was one in Miami Beach which said 11’6" but when a certain trucker damaged his truck on it he measured it and it was only 10’ 11". He sued the city or county or who ever’s bridge it was and won damages to his vehicle.

Funny animal videos always bring this one to mind, the embarrassed penguin:

Love the lion one - seems very determined - almost makes you feel a little sorry for it.

The lion clearly needs more baby in its diet.

The dead squirrel disturbs me. I only watched it half way through. I have a daughter who is very, very concerned with animals’ well being. She’s 17 now, but at that age she would have insisted on burying the animal in a dignified manner, not twirling it around like a toy. I’m actually a little disturbed too with the nonchalant attitude of the young girl regarding a dead animal.

I on,y watched a bit of that one (without the sound) but I couldn’t tell if the child knew the squirrel was dead. Does she say anything that makes it clear?

The video with the highest funny to time ratio on YouTube is probably [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiPWMhfQUxs). Only two seconds long!
