    • IrishJoe, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2I think that's the same place where where women glow and men plunder.
    • sucksathalo, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1You can hear you can hear the thunder.
  • IrishJoe, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5How many construction workers will be happy working with a sign saying, "***** Sapiens At Work"?
  • media2me, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5Just another way to waste money on silly things.
  • davebots, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Workers Working?
  • decafmatan, on 07/22/2008, -0/+8One could argue "Men" refers to Mankind, all humans.
    • atdigg, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3Haven't you heard that lately we should say "Humankind" not Mankind? Some people felt excluded, LOL.
      • decafmatan, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Ehh. It's ridiculous. I'm all for equal rights, but by the same logic we should no longer say "Homosapien", since "*****" means Man...
    • fudged71, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I resent that statement and think you should consider apologizing for not calling it womankind
      you sexist pig
      /sarc
  • aflaks, on 07/22/2008, -2/+2That sign is stupid period. It should just read "construction in progress" or "construction". or for those who cant read good: " BOOOM, AHHHH?"
  • thorie79, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Next thing you know, a man hole becomes a human hole. A manned station becomes a humanned station. A manicure becomes a humanicure. And manslaughter becomes humanslaughter. Come on, people need to chill out.
  • binaryloop, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Meanwhile: people are dying in Iraq and we are wasting trillions of dollars while our economy goes down the toilet. Guess we better fix the signs. At least that is doable.
  • ColtRevolvers, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2this is why we shouldn't have signs
  • Aeron, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1The signs are correct, woMEN are kinda like men, just a different sex... Womb-MEN, men with wombs... yea.. it makes sense
  • enronias, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Political Correctness just gets more and more retarded . . . I can't wait for the day that everyone realizes we could save a lot more money and a lot more stress if we'd all just take a deep breath and just worry about more important things in the world.
