The full name is "taxicab," Star.

Yeah, but here they just have TAXI written on them. Weird. Anyone know the origin of the word?

google most likely

Maybe it mean that it cost you more money like taxes, which sounds similar to Taxi? And yeah I will either call a taxi or wait at the taxi rank

Harry Nathaniel Allen of The New York Taxicab Co., who imported the first 600 gas-powered New York taxicabs from France, coined the word "taxicab" as a contraction of "taximeter cabriolet". "Taximeter" is an adaptation of the French word taximètre, which is a derivation of the German word taxameter, coined from Medieval Latin taxa, which means tax /charge, together with meter from the Greek metron (μέτρον) meaning measure.^[1] A "cabriolet" is a type of horse-drawn carriage, from the French word "cabrioler" ("leap, caper"), from Italian "capriolare" ("to jump"), from Latin "capreolus" ("roebuck", "wild goat").

 

Nothing like defining a word and seeing "wild goat" in quotation marks.

thank you randomh3ro, most informative :)

Do I get points?

For what?

For farting rainbows?

That is assumed to be bad so I don't see why

I guess it's not so bad for people who like rainbows.

 

 

 

Nyn

.... what color would it burn?

That is an excellent question. The panda should know.

 

 

 

Nyn

Wouldn't it burn the colour of the spectrum it doesn't absorb

it would burn the color of the elements of which its composed i think

What if it is composed of the element of suprise

Cmon chaps, it's burning already. What's the point of being a cosmicpanda if you can't fly around with burning ribbons of rainbows trailing you?

Do they sound like classical music

Probably does. The panda has a tiny bit of class.

10 points. awesome.

Just a thought....would there be a pot of gold at the end? :P

There's probably a pot of something, but I doubt it's gold. Knowing Pandy, it's probably sheet music or something.

Great Lord, I do hope so...for our sake at least.

I don't think I want to see what's in the pot at the end of a rainbow coming out of Panda's butt.

something like ambergris perhaps
