I'm Still the Best Driver

I've always felt that drivers in NEPA suck, but now I know that they aren't the worst. They're still bad...but not the worst.

In a recent report by a website called Car Insurance Comparison, all 50 states in the US were ranked from worst drivers to best drivers by fatalities per million miles driven, number of tickets, drunk driving rates, and careless driving rates.

The worst drivers (according to this study) are in Louisiana. The best of the best are in Rhode Island (because I'm assuming everyone walks everywhere in RH since the state is too small to bother installing roads). Pennsylvania came in 27th (from the bottom).

See? We aren't all that bad around here. We're at least in the upper half.

You can view the whole list and the report here.

There's a couple problems I have with this list, such as how the hell Jersey came in 39th. That, and how New York came in three spots better than us at 29th. Other than that, it seems pretty spot on.

Feel free to comment and tell me what you think.

Want to Feel Inadequate?

See that guy in the picture? He's better than you....and he knows it.

His name is Christoph Niemann. Originally from Germany, he's currently a columnist for the New York Times Magazine, blogger, and illustrator.

He also runs marathons.

And lately (out of what I'm assuming is sheer boredom coupled with the desire to exemplify his superiority), he's been doubling up and showcasing his multiple talents at the same time.

For instance, while he ran the New York City Marathon, he DREW SKETCHES of stuff that he saw while he ran. Without slowing down. I can only assume he was also nursing a baby eagle, delivering a pizza, and carrying a orphanage-full of children to safety on his back after he rescued them from a burning building.

Here are some pictures of his mid-marathon doodles:

You can see all of the sketches on his Twitter account.

Seriously...screw this guy.

I'd point out that he's never been a DJ, but then he might come take my job just out of spite.

Jerk.

Great...More Lines

As if the wait in the Emergency Room isn't long enough already (I'm dragging my leg behind me...it's good to see I had to wait while you got checked for the "sniffles"), the world population is set to hit 7 BILLION at some point in the next few weeks.

Can we please end this whole "pregnancy trend"?

Anyway, have you ever been curious as to where you fall into this mangled mess of humanity?

Well, the BBC has a new site to help you figure it out!

Just follow this link and type in your birth date, and it will calculate to a close approximation of where you stand.

The saddest part is that out of 7 BILLION human beings, it seems sometimes that I'm the only one that knows how to drive.

Frisky Business

The TSA is in the news (again) for being a bunch of filthy, dirty perverts (again).

When an anonymous woman packed her vibrator for a trip (must have been a long trip...ba-dum-bum!), her bag was investigated by TSA agents. As per protocol, they left her a form which alerted her to the fact that her luggage was opened and searched. This particular form, though, had an extra note to go with it.

Way to keep it classy, TSA.

So the question I'm asking is, what other items could we pack that might get a rise out of the TSA? I'm going on vacation outside the country in a few weeks, and I'd love to pack something that would inspire a note. Hell, if you can think of something to freaks these sons of bitches out (without breaking any laws), I'm down!
