[QUOTE=slyksleevemuckyey;5970595]Wednesday night in Manaus. The 63 year old was crossing the road when he was hit by a car at high speed that failed to stop. A taxi driver that was driving behind stopped to help but said there was nothing he could do. Don't ask me why there's a chip board above his head....

the chips (electronic pcb) looked like parts of a broken/smashed portable fm radio(telescopic antenna is visible). old guy must have been carrying it with him. guys that age likes to listen to news on portable radios. my grandparents used to do the same.

I tried figuring out what that was, thanks!

Glad the techie at least tried to reboot him with the computer board.

[RestlessGypsy]

Poor fellow.

We just couldn't take it, awfully sorry and all.

Yes, former Brits fought Brits and won..."boot" makes more sense than "trunk" too.

This traffic death reminds me that every workday, I drive the last few blocks of my commute between a very large medical center and a very large parking garage. In the mornings and afternoons, the streets are packed with nurses and staff members and technicians crossing to the big hospitals. And at least 90% of the women and half the men, I am not joking, are looking down at their stupid cellphones while they're walking. It amazes me that we have as few injuries as we do, in that area. :-(

Jesus, it was said in jest. Get a grip. You say it as if you were included in the decision. Weird.

And I feel the same way about "crisps" but I find it interesting, too, the different words our countries have for things. Like, I love when you say something "gets on your tits"! I have adopted that phrase and will use it at every opportunity.
