It was a joke. Dark humor is a coping mechanism that helps some of us avoid letting the existential dread creep in. Slaughterhouse 5 "so it goes" and all.

He was just tempting fate by leaving a town called Lucknow in an ambulance.

Looks awesome! Reminds me a bit of Azure Striker Gunvolt.

Yes on infrastructure improvements! Ones that let people ride the train out of the city to the stadium that is located not in a high density neighborhood, where there is plenty of parking and game traffic doesn't clog the roadways and paths where all other non-sports stuff goes on.

Why would a city not want to be inundated by tens of thousands of people on roads, paths, and transit routes that were not meant for tens of thousands of people?

During the Giants World Series, parking surged about 10x in pricing. Traffic ground to a halt. People walked miles just to get to the stadium. The surrounding neighborhood was drown by these people who were not there to spend money at shops.

Over the last thirty years, building sports stadiums has served as a profitable undertaking for large sports teams, at the expense of the general public. While there are some short-term benefits, the inescapable truth is that the economic impact of these projects on their communities is minimal, while they can be an obstacle to real development in local neighborhoods.

Not only is it random, it's nearly impossible to find something you have seen before. Awful all around.

A wearer of an engagement ring receives it when they become engaged, and a wearer of a wedding ring receives it when they wed. Seems pretty consistent to me.
