Even better when you're going across it in a taxi with a driver who either knows the way in his sleep, and seems to be proving this fact; or has never done that roundabout before...
We had a perfectly good roundabout near where I live (with the obligatory pedestrian crossing just before you got to it/just after you left it) which the pwoers that then were decided should be replaced by traffic lights to reduce the number of accidents. Up until then I had only seen the results of an accident near a bus stop (where the powers that were and are thought it would be better to put a sign in the middle of the road saying it's dangerous to cross there rather than put a crossing where a lot more people would actually use it...). Since the lights went in, traffic queues have got worse, and there's been more accidents...
I can confirm that HP servers will survive having a lot of water from an aircon unit dumped over them whilst they are powered on, so long as you leave them long enough to dry out. I can also confirm that HP first line support think water + electricity mix without any side effects...
