Suppose you're driving on the interestate at night...

a mild chance of death versus a certain murder.

Yes, but it is a mild chance of YOUR death vs. a certain murder of a random guy. Would it make a difference if you were alone in the car? with friends? with your wife and kids?

who knows what happened to him

does it matter? honest question. I'm just playing devils advocate.

most people swerve by instinct--that is the only way a squirrel can kill you.

Right, but why do you think this is? Is it an affection for animals? Is it because they haven't really thought about what you should do? Do you think you can train yourself to not swerve?

1.
In all honesty, I would probably swerve quicker if other people were in the car, because my instinct says "obstacle" and I swerve, even if I don't need to.

2.
No, it doesn't really matter, I was just trying to pre-empt responses that followed the flawed line of "he's a retard so its okay."

3.
I'm sure people could train themselves not to swerve, but not me. I don't train well.

I do not swerve. I hit brakes and let dumbass decide whether or not he wants to live.

Swerving at high speeds is bad news.

One night I was driving home from work late at night...it was foggy. I could swear that on the shoulder there was a guy dressed like death with a cloak and axe looking thing (can't remember what its called).

Wait for it...

[Eurotrash]

Should we assume that if we hit him, he'll die for good? Or is he going to return after we dispose of his corpse and slash the throats of all of my friends and then mine?

I have that UNKLE album, but the Rabbit in your Headlights track is scratched and won't play. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

That's such a sweet video (and album).

[brassnuts]

That video is pretty cool. Never seen it before.

Something I've always wondered about that song. At the very end, is the sound you hear from the movie Contact?
