My point was the American interstate was inspired by the German
Autobahn. There's nothing surprising about that. The Nazis wanted a high
speed roadway network for military reasons and so did the Americans. I
suppose that might be surprising but that purpose is included in the
official name of the US Interstate.

Obviously a total failure.  If it was done right, there would be a
bridge so we could drive to one of our states, Hawaii.  Don't call in
"interstate" and miss one.

You call it a total failure. I call it the most beautiful/spectacular

funny name. My granddaughter's tutu, a Hawaiian activist, won't ever set
foot on that road.

 It is a foreign language.  My daughter spend a year or two there.
 In Hawaiian, "tutu" (with the macron over the "u") means grandparent. It can be used to refer to either a grandfather or grandmother, though more specific terms like "tutu wahine" (grandmother) and "tutu kāne" (grandfather) can also be used. The word "tutu" can also be used informally to refer to any elder or elder figure within the family

So, it's almost the same as the term "UNCLE", right?
I wonder how many people actually speak and understand da Hiwaiian lingo.  I bet Tojo knows.
