- ghee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+53I like an escalator, man, 'cause an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be a "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

- Harmless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12How many rides on the escalator does it take to burn 250 calories?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That was awesome. Thanks.

- saleem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10ahh Mitch Hedberg so good.
Sadly, I always see them with barriers that say "out of order". probably they want to avoid a lawsuit of someone who walked on but expected it to move and they fell or something stupid. only in america indeed. - bryxal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Digg for quoting the source
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Does this conversation have to take place on almost every story?
- chickentonight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I just hope noone thinks that's a real kangaroo. *SMACK*
- saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I still don't know why they are feeding the rats in India.
Explanation? - sdphost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5thanks for the mirror guys!
especially since it cached the pictures and everyting. - ZeroNeo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://web.archive.org/web/20060502031112/http://ww2.nutechs.com/hosting/msobczak/Blogs/BlogSphere-1_0_2/LordLotusBlog.nsf/d6plinks/MSOK-6LGHW9
- Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+54059 if the up and down escalators are separated by less than 1 foot and depending on how you pivot into the next escalator and if your chewing gum.
- iamexcite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's a joke.
- hriwo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@saikhan

- Takteek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow I reallly wanna try that Hawaii one. It looks so fun but I don't know why...
- CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3that hawaii one cant be accurate. hawaii has waves. the caribbean doesnt.
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I love that even though they are "only in..." some of the pictures are of the same type event (i.e. the trains covered in people)
- MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Gotta love the worth 1000 picture. *sigh*
I laugh at people who takes this pictures to be 100% true. - jotux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.google.com/search?q=The%20World%20In%20Only%207%20Pictures
- johnkalel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2as to the http://www.charchaa.com/only_in_is_your_country_this_crazy_pics site:
African bathing in urine: hmm. drought, anyone? You take your moisture where you can, as unsavory as it might be.
escalator to fitness center: imagine you have arthritis, broken bones, COPD, whatever might limit your mobility. You are trying to rehab. I tell you, I'd want some way to get access to the fitness center that would help me get to the point where I didn't need the escalator.
kangaroo used as shopping cart: Attention folks unfamiliar to the Intertubes - see the ID tag? "Worth1000.com"? That's a website that hosts Photoshopping contests; Bush feminized, Condi masculinized, superheroes done as fine art, and more. The pic is funny, and is fake. Worth1000.com is worth a visit. (salute to chickentonight and MalDON)
transportation in Pakistan and Bangladesh: every one of those of people are glad as hell that there was ANY transport available at the time they needed it. Not everyone on the planet can go run out and buy a Hummer.
square watermelons in japan: With a crowded country and small living spaces, efficiency in all ways is vital. It makes sense to have a easily stored watermelon. - CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4lots of obvious photoshop in there
ie. cloning tool used for the sake of exaggeration
ive seen plenty of the originals which were funny enough. they didnt need to doctor them. - naisanza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1heres a great idea. take things that were on the front page long ago and resubmit them.
- darkmule, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Anyone else amused at the "Only in Texas" part then scrolling down to see "Only in America".
I keep forgetting Texas isn't part of America.... ;p - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I love the last one. Escalators suck. People are too lazy to move their legs anymore...
- renegadeafk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1found another link that works

This is a foreign concept in most places, but in India they respect various kinds of animals. - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like the one about Thailand.. My friend's Thai wife lets their 2 year old kid play with knives.
- ClayDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I saw the Mexico photo I thought it was the best. Then I saw the American one.
Nevertheless, I too want such a small Mexican hat! - themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's moc.rorrimggud.www//:ptth ....idiot.
- Ductapemaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Heh, I didn't think that could have been real. I wasn't sure until I read that...
- bigwyrm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@andrewry
Then again, not everybody who diggs it bothers to view the story. :-P - themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@ royall64
Yeah. I see what you mean by most hated. Even I hate him now and his other account junkmail02. - ColdShoulder, on 10/12/2007, -10/+10uh...anyone have a duggmirror link?

I think it was on Wild Boyz but there is some temple where they worship rats. - hiddencatch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2also, the escalator picture was originally a scene somewhere in Asian.. I think China, may be Japan?
And the signs were photoshopped to make it look more american. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Just 60 diggs and the site's dead already.

- sterlingtjones, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Escalators need repairs all the time and you can't use them for stairs when they are being dismantled.
