Out new wonder bridge is far better than all the other bridges that are based
upon millenium old technologies. Rather than replying on old outdated concepts
of load bearing and structural support we have introduced the concept of prayer 
bridges, following revelotionary new breakthroughs we have found that spinning 
a prayer wheel before driving onto a bridge made of freshly cut grass has the
same reliabity as bridges[1], while at a fraction of a cost.


[1], tests done on 3000 year old "old style" bridge in the center of serbia by 
driving a tank over it, test was repeated by driving similiar[2] tank over
new wonder bridge, In both cases the reliability was better for the new grass
bridge[3]

[2] serbian bridge tank was russian tank, grass bridge tank was nearest american
equivalent[4]

[3] the old style bridge collapsed 20% of the way across, while the grass bridge
lasted 25%.

[4] well actually we drove a tonka toy over it, but hey it was the nearest 
equivalent we could find.
