Well here is something I have always wondered.

Why is it that almost every time you reach a sharp turn in a road where the speed limit is dropped significantly, there are always TWO speed limit signs? IE:

45 MPH speed limit. Then 10 feet beyond that sign, it says 25 MPH speed limit with a sharp turn sign? Why even put the first sign if it is almost instantly changed from 45 to 25? I see this all the time, one sign saying one speed limit then immediately changing it....

You know, strangely enough, if I saw these three dudes walking down the sidewalk in street clothes, my first thought probably WOULD be "where's the star wars/trek convention?" 

[kneedownnate]

The 25mph sign isn't a speed limit, just a strong suggestion for the speed to take the corner.  Or a challenge to double it...

[MiniSimp]

it's called an "Advisary Speed"

[46&2]

I guess I didnt think about the fact that most people can't think for themselves. it just seemed redundant to me

[BLACKDOG]

There's some turns on 80 that have a suggested speed of 55 

[46&2]

So does that mean if you pass a CHP in an advised 15 zone and the speed limit is normaly 35, and you are going 35 you aren't speeding? Not including school zones or construction zones etc.

Correct.  Only the white signs are law, the rest are advised.  However, they can get you for reckless driving, endangering the public, etc.  if they feel your speed is excessive.   Once again, not including school zones, construction, etc.

The expression dates to at least the late 19th century, although according to Mark Twain it was already old in 1850, and likely originates with the ancient Christian three-letter symbolism IHS (the Christogram). (Smith 1994, p. 332)

Using the name of Jesus Christ as an oath has been common for many centuries, but the precise origins of the letter H in the expression Jesus H. Christ are obscure. While many explanations have been proposed, some serious and many humorous, the most widely accepted derivation is from the divine monogram of Christian symbolism. The symbol, derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus (Ιησούς), is transliterated IHS, IHC, JHS or JHC. Since the transliteration IHS gave rise to the backronym Iesus Hominum Salvator (Latin for "Jesus savior of men"), it is plausible that JHC similarly led to Jesus H. Christ. (Smith 1994, pp. 332-3)

One factor in the transmutation of the monogram into the expression Jesus H. Christ may be that when the first syllable of Jesus Christ is strongly emphasised (as some speakers of English may do when cursing), the rhythm suggests a missing middle syllable between Jesus and Christ. The H may have been adopted from the monogram to fill this gap.
