If you're going somewhere you'd say something like "I'm on the freeway." I assume it's a similar reason. Like "I'm on the 405." It sounds weird to leave out "the." I don't personally buy the "well the freeways were named before they had numbers" explanation but I suppose that's a better reason that "just because."

>The practice of shark finning, whereby sharks are caught for their fins and their carcasses then dumped back into the ocean, has been banned in U.S. waters for decades

These big, must pass bills are always bloated with these completely unrelated bills. Even the most hardcore shark hater isn't going to vote against the defense bill to shoot this down.

The current Endeavour display is meh but their idea of displaying it in its launch configuration once the expansion to the museum is done is going to be super cool. Hopefully they actually finish it on time.

That guy and the people that upvoted him clearly want our past in the west to be whitewashed. Concentration camp carries a negative connotation due to the Nazis but the internment camps we had are the literal definition of them. Internment is just a euphemism so people don't associate them with the death camps.

Unrelated. You're talking about the Nazi death camps, this article is about concentration camps in Britain.
