    The Darwin Awards celebrate this sort of thing.. Like the bloke who cut off his own head with a chainsaw.

  • It beggars belief that some posters are blaming the driver for this idiot not paying attention!

    The gene pool has surely been enriched by his removal - he might have bred similar retards!

    Thank you Harry Flashman, Gloomendoon, Sandoval and others, for reaffirming my belief in human nature and sensibility.
    We all make choices in our life, and we all take risks, but all are balanced out by the possible result.

    If you walk out in front of a bus, into a busy road, whilst texting, then you run the risk of becoming a statistic.

    Lapses in concentration happen, but walking out into the middle of the road without looking is hardly a lapse in concentration.

    Yes, it is. A very long one.

    And, BTW, I never said that I thought that the mobile phone app' was a good idea. It is clearly such a bad idea, that I didn't think I had to say so.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
