402 people were killed in the U.S. yesterday, today, tomorrow, and everyday for the foreseeable future!! This is according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
This only includes accidents, suicides, and homicides as of the year 2001
97,707 people were killed accidentally
29,423 people committed suicide
19,727 people were murdered
A total of 146,857 people for an average of 402 people per day!

I guess this is in retrospect to war deaths...
After having to drive on the interstate for a month now to work I wonder which is more dangerous, The interstate or Al Qaida...
 Both are forms of terrorism...

Driving the interestate for a month?

Try the Beltway around Washington, DC for 6 years... you'll see some amazing ****.

The instant water falls from the sky, virtually every driver on the road suffers from their head falling out their ass.

"Water droplets? What is this? I better immediately slow down from 70MPH to 20MPH so these strange objects don't puncture my windshield and enter my body through osmosis, becoming a parasite in my brain causing me to know how to actually ****ing drive!"

A driving license is supposed to indicate someone can drive, right? The dip****s handing out those things in the Washington metro area obviously don't understand that concept, because there are very few people that can operate a motor vehicle here with atleast a little common sense and some courtesy.

I was driving the Columbus 270 outterbelt today when traffic in the fast lane slowed to 50.  I could not figure out why until I came upon one of those rolling billboard anti-abortion trucks in the middle lane.  

But that wasn't what was slowing everyone down.  It was the private security vehicle that was trailing it that looked like an unmarked police cruiser.  Everyone thought it was a cop and jammed on the brakes, forgetting that there are no unmarked police cruisers in Ohio. :mad:

31,000 people die in the USA each year from the flu.

because of the Laurel area TuckFards.

Rt 50 would always, always, slow down to an inch worm around 97 and 98 for NO PUCKING REASON AT ALL!! see above statement for why.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I just moved from LA, where I was contending with the 10, the 101 and the infamous 405, to the Washington area, where I lived as a kid and now, as an adult, am getting reacquainted with the Beltway. At least in DC there isn't a gun in one of every 20 cars.

Whereabouts in Columbus are you from...I live in Hilliard.  The worst part of 270 I find to be around Sawmill road...every damn day.   Same with 33...I saw that from the air...backed up darn near all the way to Marysville every day.

I just moved to Canal Winchester.  33 between CW and 270 is a daily nightmare.  Fortunately once I get to 270, I have 3 choices to get to Dublin.
