How Detour Dan got dropped on his head as a baby

Fun for the whole family!

Now the winner of this year's Darwin Award

The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded in the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The Wreckage resembled the
site of an airplane crash, but it was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene.

Police investigators finally pieced together the mystery. An amateur rocket scientist... had somehow gotten hold of a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off, actually a solid fuel Rocket) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra "push" for taking off from short airfields.

He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to the car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO! The facts as best as could be determined are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit the JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles from the crash site.

This was established by the scorched and melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within 5 seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 mph and continuing at full power for an additional 20-25 seconds.

The driver, and soon to be pilot, would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, causing him to become irrelevant for the remainder of the event.

However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface, then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet leaving a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.

Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable. However, small fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.

Epilogue: It has been calculated that this moron attained a ground speed of approximately 420-mph, though much of his voyage was not on the ground.

The new, pretty It Couple?


Patriots QB Tom Brady is now dating Leonardo DiCaprio's ex, Giselle Bundchen. One of our sources say she was standing outside the Patriots locker room following their win on Sunday against San Diego. “She was standing outside the locker room, just kind of leaning against the wall. “No one noticed her, she was dressed like a high-school kid, just in jeans and a T-shirt. But she is gorgeous.” When Tom was dating Bridget Moynahan Giselle once described him as gay. “He’s cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he’s gay to me. There are too many men in the world to go after a man who has a woman. Life is too short.”

The next big thing from Apple?



Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs announced the company's iPhone on Tuesday. The gadget won't have buttons like a traditional cell phone. Instead it will be controlled by touch. It will also play music, surf the Internet, runs the Macintosh computer operating system. The iPhone will also have in it a 2 megapixel digital camera -- most of today's camera phones are 1.3 megapixels or less. The iPhone -- which will run on the Cingular wireless network -- will cost $499 for the 4-gigabyte model and $599 for the 8-gigabyte model. It should begin selling in June.

... The phone will automatically synch your media -- movies, music, photos -- through Apple's iTunes Music Store. The device also synchs email content, Web bookmarks and nearly any type of digital content stored on your computer.

... Jobs says the iPhone uses a patented touch-screen technology Apple is calling "multi-touch." He says multi-touch is more accurate than any touch display ever shipped, and even ignores unintended touches.

... Another nice touch will be "visual voicemail," so iPhone users can jump to the most important messages rather than have to listen to all of them in order.

... The phone supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless technology and can detect location from Global Positioning System satellites.

... Jobs also unveiled a $299 video box, called Apple TV. It will be available next month. The gadget is designed to bridge computers and television sets so users can more easily watch their downloaded movies on a big screen.

Obama or Osama?


CNN apologized Tuesday for mistakenly promoting a story on the search for Osama bin Laden with the headline "Where's Obama?" A spokesman for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama said the apology was accepted. The blunder came Monday evening on Wolf Blitzer's news show "The Situation Room." CNN called it a "bad typographical error" by its graphics department. (Ironically, CNN did a story on the Osama-Obama "confusion" less than a month ago.)
