Quote of the Week

Alright, we're easing back into things here after the holiday weekend, so let's just jump right to Quote of the Week, shall we?

This week's QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Police say a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride against helmet laws in upstate New York died after he flipped over the bike's handlebars and hit his head on the pavement... State troopers tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 55-year-old Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets."
                         - Associated Press report

Man, I'm not sure if that's horribly ironic or perfectly appropriate. Condolences go out to Mr. Contos' family, of course... in part for the tragic loss of a loved one, but in part because they most likely also carry whatever defective gene led to his horrible, horrible decision.

Clearly, this incident is a natural front-runner for the Darwin Awards.
