American washing machines are really different. They tend to be top load rather than front load and use much more water. One reason that European washers run faster is to help extract more of the dirty water from the earlier cycles. The other is to to make drying quicker.
Energy is much cheaper in the US and people I know rarely dry clothes outside anymore. Instead we use electric or gas dryers.
I think Greg was simply baiting her into answering the question to see if she knew how to find the special symbols needed to answer the question.
Cecil is a “she”.
smelt ha-ha, got it! You’re mean!
A small technicality but an important one… No roller coaster in the world pulls 7 or 8 G’s. The most “intense” one you could say only pulls 6.5 (which is insane in it’s own sense, considering most pull 3-4) and it’s at Six Flags Astroworld in Houston.
Karen Lingel must have an amazing ability to kill people’s reading comprehension. 
The quote, again: “Alas, roller coasters are limited to 7 or 8 g’s. If the g-force is larger than that, so much of your blood is pulled down out of your brain and you black out or die.”
Note that it says ‘limited to’ and gives a reason for that limit. It’s saying what the theoretical maximum is, not what the current record is.
Don’t worry about the socks. For every sock we lose to a parallel universe it in turn creates an equivalent amount of single-shoe-matter by the side of our roads. Matter, energy, and overall odd-matched-object-annoyance is conserved in both universes.
Fish in the washing machine… how disgusting. We all know that fish goes in the dishwasher. Dishwasher Salmon With A Piquant Dill Sauce
Now what I want to know is if Australian machines spin counter-clockwise to take advantage of the reversed coriolis force in the southern hemisphere.
Even with the sparse knowledge available about Cecil’s personal details, it’s pretty well established that he is, in fact, male. Karen Lingel, however, the staff member who wrote this Report, may be presumed to be female.
