I hate those new light bulbs.  They don't fit my old lamp!  I just broke one trying to screw it in. <_<   Now I'm covered in mercury vapor.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I know. It's just that she looked so different 5 years ago that I wasn't expecting such a change. -_-

Two plainclothes NYC policemen kill a 16-year-old boy. Autopsy finds that the kid was shot 3 times in the back. :hmm:

Why is it only women who are killed by trucks turning right without seeing the cyclists?

Ehm.. we have one of those about each week, and it's never men who are being run over.

man acknowledge the truck, slow down & let him turn while the women just ignore all traffic?

All cyclists must die.

But that would imply that all men have good awareness in traffic. That is not the case.

I saw a man with a child on his bike cross a red light, turn unto the sidewalk narrowly missing an old lady and then turn left. Sure, he wasn't killed, but a part of me hoped he would at least have broken something. :(

Also, several other cyclists had to break to not hit him.

First, I found the sentence confusing to parse and then when I did - found it unlikely to be true.

I parsed it as there are gunmen that kill women when trucks turn right despite cyclists being used as impromptu traffic signals.

In Denmark most cyclists who are killed by trucks turning right are women.

Which is wacky.  But Danes don't lie.

That's pretty generous given that he said "only" and later followed up that it is never men.

That's even wackier, but this new evidence in no way diminishes your homosexuality.
