And then Hammer Time?
Then the acme bomb falls.
Who is behind this great ploy – Marvin or Wile E.?
Yes, but it only lasts 67 seconds.
That’s a little over half a minute in metric time.
No, it’s a little over a third of a minute. There’s 100 metric seconds in a metric minute, not 60. You’re an idiot.

Wow. I thought I was making it up. Didn’t know there was such a thing.
So I learned something new today. If that makes me an idiot in your book, so be it.
If you wait 33 seconds you get rolled over instantly by a super fast moving train like the cartoons.
The sign is for the TRAIN, not the cars. Which is why it’s only visible if you’re driving on the tracks.
that sign is for me, not the train. which is visible on my favorite peeing-pole
If that sign was for the train, the crossing gates wouldn’t be needed as the conductor can just get out and flag the crossing. May as well if you’re stopping anyway.
Well the sign is facing the tracks not the road.
Also, I think the sign is saying “the stop wait is 34 seconds”. I don’t know what this means but it could mean that the time the train has to pass the crossing is 34 seconds or something.
Believe it or not, you find these signs on industrial spur lines. Most major lines have detectors that calculate how fast a train is moving, and lower the gates 30 to 40 seconds before the train approaches the crossing. For the spur line with the occasional train (every few days), the signal activates at a certain distance; the train stops to make sure all traffic has cleared the crossing before moving on.
It faces the tracks but I’ve seen roads that run alongside tracks before crossing them.
(goes at 33 seconds)
(Get’s run over by train)
Well s**t
The remains of the last guy to try this is still swinging in the wind.
To be more precise use an atomic clock

Road Runner always crosses that railroad at 32 seconds.
Stop!
Wait 34 seconds!
???
PROFIT!
I think there’ a dash missing as in ‘Wait 3-4 seconds’.
You know what I hate? Those annoying people who wait 35 seconds at that sign. I mean, seriously, I’ve got places to go, things to do!
… and those people behind you whose watch is fast. They start honking and cursing at 32 seconds.
