Over a two days this week, Oregon State Police and sheriffs (perhaps better known by their CB radio code, "Boy Scouts") hitched a ride with big-rig truckers on the hunt for aggressive drivers who wouldn't suspect a "Smokey" ride along and wouldn't have time to "brush their teeth and comb their hair" (shout out for a radar trap ahead.)
Leaving the "bubble gum machine" (cop car) at home, the troopers were able to nab 38 drivers in just two days. From their shotgun perches, most of the drivers were ticketed for driving over a "double nickel" (55 mph) and never saw it coming.
The ODOT safety manager says "Research shows that most truck vs.

Bummed out about the fact that you can't text while driving? Take heed that banning unsafe practices like that will hopefully eliminate other things people think they can do while driving, like this gentleman who could not put down his PSP.
What's so wrong with that you say?

Search Continues for the "Male Pill"
Research is progressing on a male contraceptive, but there have also been setbacks. The drug miglustat (Zavesca), which is used to treat a rare condition called Gaucher's disease, had shown success in animal studies but failed to work in a clinical trial, according to results published in 2007 in Human Reproduction. Researchers are now investigating an experimental drug, Adjudin (AF-2364), which disrupts sperm production.

I have a love/hate relationship with earbuds. I love that I can listen to my music as loud as I want while working out, but I hate how uncomfortable those little buds can be. I'm always futzing with them to get the speaker part to fit inside my ear just right, and if they don't have that piece that hooks around the back of my ear, they end up falling out when I move.

I was driving to the post office the other day and a bunch of bikers (riding bicycles - not motorcycles) were totally ditching every road rule in the book. They were riding on the left side of the road and cutting in front of cars. I don't care so much that they weren't using their arm signals when turning, but they weren't even checking for cars before hanging a right.
