I was today years old when I learned that the theme song for the 1978 BBC Radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and also the 1981 BBC TV series of the same name, was actually Journey of the Sorcerer, released in 1975 by prog-folk legends The Eagles.
I wasn't sure what it was but I figured it was slow. A search revelaed it is a Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car, 0-60 in 13.4 seconds.
This linked review provided a few more chuckles, it was interesting but barely adequate as a city commuter car.

I had a long reply typed up here, but decided that perhaps it might make for an interesting thread of its own.
Thus, here is my reply: https://www.miataturbo.net/insert-bs...ed-evs-109442/

It's finally happened.
This sign showed up at my workplace some time within the past few days.
Specifically, it's outside of Room 106, which is the big executive conference room on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows, right behind the GM's office.
Because it's the big executive conference room, it has a little kitchenette area in the back, as well as a tiny, private one-holer with a locking door. It's a bizarre restroom to see in an otherwise very ordinary 1960s era commercial building, as it's very... "residential" in nature. The toilet has a tank and operates on gravity, rather than the power-flush units in all the other restrooms. And it's got a residential-style sink upon a wooden cabinet, and a little closet for toilet paper and whatnot to go in, and a newspaper rack. All in all, it looks like the half-bath you'd find on the ground level of a 1950s/60s new-England two story home.
And it's never needed a sign. It's never been a gender-segregated restroom. It's the only single-hole restroom with a locking door in the whole building.
But now they've put that little sign up. And it just makes the place feel... trashy, somehow.
