That story looked fishy, and it was from an Australian site, and we all know how Australia is with lying and what not.

Basically she's popular on a chubby chaser website, and the whole 1000 pound thing is something she writes as a fantasy to her fans.

Hmm on second thought I'm not sure the real story is any better.

It looks like a site that would be on the top of Aurora's bookmark list: http://www.supersizedbombshells.com/main.html

So, apparently Danny Glover was in my neck of the woods today and got arrested. That's pretty random, I think.

It's been well documented that I hate bad drivers. Well, GMAC Insurance released the test results of their National Driver's Test and guess what? This country if full of dumb drivers. The national average test score dropped from last year to 76.6% (I scored 90% and haven't taken a written test in 15 years). If you want to take the test, go here. Factor in this stupidity with the millions of drivers who don't know how to actually drive their vehicles, and it's easy to understand why we have so much congestion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, our traffic problems begin with the driver. Until we fix the driver, no amount of public transportation or highway expansion will solve our traffic problems.

Eighty-five percent could not identify the correct action to take when approaching a steady yellow traffic light, and many remained confused by safe following distances.

***

When analyzed regionally, the results reveal that drivers in the Northeast may not be as road-rule savvy as their Midwestern counterparts. The Northeast had the lowest average test scores (74.9 percent) and had the highest failure rate (25.1 percent).

***

Males also out-performed females overall in terms of average score (78.1 percent male versus 74.4 percent female) and failure rates (24 percent female versus 18.1 percent male).

LOL. This does not surprise me one bit.

I got a 90%. Apparently I don't know what to do when the light turns yellow, either.
