Porcupine_I on 30 September 2010
i just remembered, when i was a kid, i could never figure out that the giant things that made his car topple at the end were actually supposed to be ribs.
took me years to figure that out 
...and no, i didn't read English back then, and had not heard of the concept of food being served to the car.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
