Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

How, then can the answer to "Identify a leading cause of traffic collisions" of "speeding" be incorrect?

I'd guess they are defining "speeding" as "exceeding the posted speed limit" and defining "unsafe speed" as "too fast for conditions," which can happen even when you aren't "speeding."

There is an element of post hoc ergo propter hoc there: "You had a crash, therefore you must have been travelling at an unsafe speed. If you had been going slower, you wouldn't have crashed. How much slower? Slow enough to not crash."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Cool! I can't believe I slept thru that.

I guess not. I was still working on finishing the Fischer I started last night.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Puppy Bowl is very soothing. There should be a puppy channel and a kitten channel.

It's like public access cable at its very best -- puppies! Playing! A football cam that drives around the puppy field!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember the TAL segment about the guy who wanted to do the Puppy Channel? It sounds like that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hi! How was everyone's weekend? Mine rocked. We drove a lot, usually fast, and watched Wonderfalls, and ate at a tiki restaurant, complete with a rain shower, and laughed a lot, and other good stuff.
