The worst car feature ever invented?
Every so often an idea comes along that is so awful it deserves a place in the Bad Idea Hall of Fame. Like there was the toilet timer that made sure workers don’t spend too much time in the bathroom, and of course there was that hotel bed-warming service.
But now, along comes an idea that makes those others seem positively brilliant.
We have photos showing “hands free driving” in a car that is controlled by the driver’s brain. I’m not making this up.

And now, for you smarty-pants kids…
Okay, publishing staff, I’ll tell you why we called this meeting.
Children’s books aren’t selling as well as they used to. We need to retool them a bit for today’s more sophisticated kids, and for the the dads who do the bedtime reading.
You know, maybe even a tad risqué.
Buxom actress dies?
Buxom actress Jane Russell dead at 89
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” movie star Jane Russell, who became a controversial Hollywood sex symbol, died on Monday at the age of 89, her family said.
I was very disturbed at the title “Buxom actress Jane Russell dead at 89″ for your news article about her death today.
She was a human being. I never met her, but she – and her family – should have been shown more respect.

Buddy, can you hand me some paper?
Lamar, where the heck are you? I told you to meet me at the Motor Show.
I’m here, Boss. I’ll find you in a few minutes. I stopped in the men’s room by the Renault display.
Really? I just went by there and I didn’t see a men’s room.

Welcome back to Stupidville
Blog Guy, you’ve written about your brother Basil, who used to be an expat export expert and now plays mandolin in Mandalay. But do you have any other siblings?
Sure, there’s my sister Alice. She lives in Dallas.
Does Alice have a nice house in Dallas?
Nice? It’s a palace!
Whose fists are those?
You incorrectly headlined a video clip “Protesters pump fists at Wisconsin lawmakers.”
Those are actually Democratic lawmakers pumping fists at Republican lawmakers after the surprise vote late Thursday night in the State Assembly.
Protesters are not allowed inside the chamber, they are out of camera range in the gallery.
