And how about this one?
Clueless About History
I think this one is the best yet!
Quote:

"Researchers found that many of the 2,069 adults questioned could not tell fact from fiction.
More than one in 20 thought the sci-fi classic War of the Worlds, in which Earth is invaded by Martians, was a historical event.
Some even believed the Battle of Helm's Deep from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi actually took place.
Almost half of those asked thought William Wallace never existed and more than half believed King Arthur was real.
A quarter thought Robin Hood was a genuine historical figure, while one in 20 thought Conan the Barbarian was real. "


Dumb fucks!!!

Actually,

I believe in restraining my dog (130 lb Rottweiler) while I am in a moving vehicle. Not for his protection (well sort of) but for mine. In the event of an emergency break I would end up with 130 lbs flying through the car, hitting me, my wife or child without any way of protecting either one of us against the ballistic dog. It is simply nessesary for everyones protection.

Well that's one reason I miss the hummer now. When me and the dog used to take weekly trips to the local dog park she he enjoyed the very back row. He's pretty much trained well when it comes to riding in moving vehicles, I guess it was part of the Man's Best Friend training he received.

Putting dogs in seat belts is a waste of time and may not be beneficial for the part in question. The following questions raise concern:

1.) What happens when Fido is in a doggy belt and you get into a car wreck and cant get back their to unfasten his seatbelt?

2.) How will Insurance companies react to this?

Now I can understand if someone has a dog in a cargo bed of a truck, I see it everyday where trucks are driving up and down the street and the dogs are freely able to jump out at the stop light.

Sorry if im flip flopping, but another thing that pisses me off is dogs in moving cars, sticking their head out the window to feel the cool breeze, I actually saw an animal get killed that way. But hey animals can be properly trained to ride in moving vehicles.

Laws like this should be seen as an outright embarrassment to the [obviously useless] politicians that propose them. Somebody really needs to send their elected official back to whatever rock they climbed out from under, I think, when they start generating crap like this.

exactly, someone has to be making money under the table for a stupid useless law like this. What next a law for "Obscene Barking in Public".
