Forget taking the dog for a walk. This dog would rather drive — as long as he’s at the wheel.
Musician Bryan Maher was in a Long Island cafe near New York when he noticed his Ford van on the move and his dog Bentley, a hefty boxer and Shar-Pei mix, at the wheel.
“I left my car running because it’s cold outside and I didn’t want my dog to freeze,” Maher told the Daily News. “The next thing I knew, I looked up to see my van coming at me in the window.”

Bentley, who had somehow set the parked vehicle in motion, crashed into the cafe window. No one was hurt, though.
“Bentley was wagging his tail afterward,” cafe owner Patricia McCarthy told the News.

忘了蹓狗這回事吧!這隻狗寧可自己開車─—只要他坐上駕駛座。
當時在紐約附近長島一家咖啡店內的音樂人布萊恩.馬赫,發現自己的福特廂型小貨車竟然動了起來,而他那隻肥肥胖胖的拳師、沙皮混種狗「班特利」就坐在駕駛座上。
馬赫對《每日新聞》的記者表示:「因為外面天氣很冷,我不想狗被凍僵,所以沒把車子熄火。接著,我一抬頭就看到我的貨車正朝我前面的櫥窗開來。」
不知用何方法開動這部靜止車輛的班特利,駕車衝進咖啡店的櫥窗內。所幸無人受傷。
咖啡店老闆派翠莎.麥卡西向《每日新聞》表示:「事後班特利還一直搖尾巴呢。」

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
