What my friend Drew came up with was so incredibly outrageous that my friend Andy was inclined to try it. Even against my warning that maybe standing in the street with my hair dryer and seeing if cars would slow down if you blew at them might be a little dangerous, they just laughed and said that I was a girl.(which really isn't much of an insult considering that I am.)

So anyway, Andy got my battery powered hair dryer. I remember that the first car to come was this red convertalbe thing thing. As we all started cracking up, he turned the dryer on high and jumped infront of the car. Since the car was low he was able to stop in time in order to not run over Andy. Drew said that he should try it again, "you know...just for scientific accuracy."

The next car that came was an SUV. Being the cocky guy that he is, Andy decided that it would be funnier if he jumped infornt of the car at the last minute. If you know anything about cars, you know that it takes much longer for a large SUV to stop than it takes a convertible, and if you know anything about phsyics you know that it would hurt MUCH more to get hit by a van. He inevitbly got smashed before he could even get the hair dryer on. Breaking his both of his legs in three places and his left arm, he ironically laughed at the fact that the car didn't stop. All that he said afterwards before he passed out was "Darwin Awards, here i come!" So. Here he is.

Good grief, Anna! That has to be one of the stupidest acts I've heard about in some time! FYI I drive a light truck, and I know JUST how PO'd I'd be if someone tried that with me. I like this story enough to keep it, but I hope by doing so I am not enabling your friend's pride. We wouldn't want him to go on to true Darwinian greatness, now would we? :-)
