Any other Engineers on this board?

The equation KE = 1/2*M*V^2 comes to mind...

Not an engineer but I know that:

1 sedan + 40 mph + 1 briggs and stratton powered car + 40 mph = one "green" dead guy.

You think Al Gore drives one of those? 

I thought I hit one of those cars the other night in my sub but it turned out to be just a mosquito.

You don't want to. It took me nearly a year to get it out of my mind and when I think about it I nearly throw up.

Too late, I already did.

I have saved this image to pass out whenever I hear of someone looking to buy one. Just might save a life.

Man, I tell ya, the one that got me was that 16/17 year old girl out in Cali that rolled her daddy's Porsche. Did ya'll see that one? I was going to check my hotmail account and on the MSN homepage one of the articles was about her family's legal issues with privacy and the internet. Apparently it was a big thing when it happened but I never heard about it; online she was known as "Porsche girl." SO being the curious sort that I am, I went and looked up pictures of it. Man oh man. I've seen some nasty stuff in my time, but there wasn't anything that prepared me to see that.

And then of course I had to check out the other article, which was about the first successful face-transplant, which was done on a woman whose husband had shot her in the face with a shotgun. WHICH then prompted me to check out the related story of the first successful partial face-transplant on the french woman whose dog ate half her face.

Needless to say, by the end of all of it I was no longer interested in having lunch or leaving my apartment.
