thats pretty neat...  but why bother going underground at that point?  they could have just kept the bridge above ground in a straight line from there to the other side lol

You know, I wouldn't be suprised for an exceptionally long bridge/tunnel that it could "hop" several times between a tunnel and a bridge.

I've been through that tunnel.  That's in Chesapeake Bay.

The reason it goes to a tunnel is because it's cheaper to make a tunnel at that point.  Why is it cheaper?  The bridge would have to be huge because aircraft carriers and battleships from Norfolk Naval Base have to go through there.

Miley Cyrus was a lefty like her dad, but her dad made her learn to write with her right hand, as he though lefty's were a little backwards...

In effect she can write with her right, and do something else with her left at the same time...

This is actually quite common for practically any lefty of the previous generation(s).
