- wikiburner 13y agoI'm assuming you're being facetious. A picture of the big dig belongs in the dictionary under the word boondoggle, and proves robomartin's point better than almost any other example could.
- parasubvert 13y agoBoondoggle would imply it wasn't worth it. Yes, the Big Dig cost a lot of money. More than expected. It was still worth it.
