Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

Remember the future? We were going to have flying cars and robot servants and...MONORAILS! The following edumecational presentation from The Simpsons will explain it all:

Well it turns out that the future didn't turn out quite like that. Most people have trouble parking regular cars, so Fords in the sky are just going to kill everyone on their morning commute. But at least some of the wonderful technologies we were promised came true. Behold the monorail that sits behind the research centre down the street (where the big, bland cafeteria is).

 

It's a real, live monorail in the sky. It doesn't actually go anywhere mind you (that's the whole track you see right there). But it is really cool. Which is why Springfield bought one:

Just think: if Ottawa bought one, there would be no need to dig a tunnel under downtown. But knowing how poorly things turn out when a spineless city hall lets design-by-committee pander to NIMBYism, Ottawa would probably end up with the world's first elevated-yet-underground public transportation system.

All together now: "Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!"
