Two guys dress up as cell phones then sneak up on annoying people talking on cell phones and smash em to bits! (If you repeat that sentence with an Australian accent, it’s very funny.)
A 13-year-old and her 10-year-old accomplice tried to rob a PNC Bank yesterday. Wearing towels on their heads and socks on their hands, the girls gave a teller a note saying they had a gun and wanted $2,000. After their attempt was thwarted, the two juveniles admitted that they, “wanted to buy some bomb ass clothes and shit from the local Wal-mart.” Former First Lady Nancy Reagan suggested the girls be put to death “so we can use their evil lil’ brain stems for something positive.” Comedian Paula Poundstone suggested the girls be given to her so she could “talk some sense into ‘em.”
Over the weekend a NASCAR driver got out of his car and helped the pit crew change the tires on his car. The driver later said he was making a statement because their team is poorly funded and can’t afford to have the huge pit crews that the other drivers have. As a result, NASCAR quickly made it against the rules for any driver to exit their car for the purpose of aiding the pit crew. When I heard that, I laughed out loud. Why?
Dale Earnhardt dies at the Daytona 500 this year. What does NASCAR do? Nothing. They don’t institute a rule mandating the HANS device (a head and neck restraint) that many said could have saved Earnhardt’s life had he been wearing it. They don’t institute a rule mandating “soft walls” that absorb car impacts much better than concrete.
But, you get out of your car to help the pit crew because you have shit for funding and can’t compete with the DuPont and UPS sponsored cars, and they outlaw that the next day.
On the other side of the spectrum, you have CART, open-wheel racing at its finest. CART cars are the fastest racing cars on the planet, and provide the most exciting racing too. I’m not biased, watch a race and you’ll see. This past weekend at the Michigan 500, there were 141 lead changes.
But the most notable event this weekend happened the day before the Michigan 500. Roberto Moreno crashed into a tire barrier on the backstretch during Friday’s practice session. He was going over 200 miles per hour. What is exceptional about this? He walked away with minor soreness. He was wearing the HANS device. Later, a simulation of forces was done and it was realized that he would likely have died had he not been wearing the HANS device. CART mandates all their drivers to wear the HANS device.
NASCAR also does not even have a rule making their drivers wear helmets. Totally true, NASCAR drivers do not have to wear helmets. But what would you expect from a sport where some of the drivers are married to their cousins.
