"Serpentine Queues"..

Well, this post is just full of idiots..

Traffic signals to be synchronized

KUWAIT : The General Traffic Department at the Ministry of Interior has formulated a plan to synchronize all traffic signals in the country to reduce the number of road accidents, reports Al-Watan daily. Accordingly, if a driver passes through a green signal at one traffic signal, the next traffic signal will also be green by the time he reaches there.

No matter how fast he's driving? How the hell are they going to implement this? And if the signal's not green when you reach it, can you sue?

Sources say the plan will be implemented shortly in some streets which witness frequent traffic jams such as the Al-Balloshi Street, the intersection of Fahd Al-Salem Street in Salhiya and the intersections of Arabian Gulf Street.

In another development, the computer network at the Kuwait International Airport crashed Thursday, resulting in long serpentine queues at all entrance and exit counters. Sources say this is the third breakdown in a very short span of time.

So wait, the computer network crashing at the Airport is a "development"? And what the hell is a serpentine queue? Who the hell talks like that? And why would they add the network crash report to the traffic light one? Are they related at all?
