Keep the Shiny side up

Using your iPod while crossing the road may soon be illegal in New York.

NY State Senator Carl Kruger wants to slap a $100 (£51) fine on pedestrians using MP3 players, mobile phones or Blackberries while crossing the road.

Two of his Brooklyn constituents had been killed after walking into traffic while listening to MP3 players in the last few months, Mr Kruger said.

In one case bystanders screamed "watch out", Mr Kruger said, but the victim did not hear their warnings.

I say we legalize EVERYTHING and let Darwin have his due, the only reason we don't is because we would run short of politicians, generals and religious leaders in less than a month.

Amen. If you're not smart enough to look around before you cross the street, then, well, you're just not smart enough.
