Left turns

I was going down Studewood today in the right lane today, and somebody beeped "hi!" at me when I turned across the left lane and into oncoming traffic so i could make it to the gas station! He was so cute in that little white car that I think he was making a pass at me so I dropped my cell phone!!

OMG, DRIVING IS SO HARD!

Saturday

I take issue with this article

From the Telegraph:

Women and gay men are likely to be the worst drivers, a new study has shown. Research has revealed that both perform poorly in tasks involving navigation and spatial awareness when compared to heterosexual men.

OK, fine! Whee! Like this is news! But this is what is all kinds of wrong!

Be afraid: Women or gay men could be behind the wheel of any car

Oh Mary, errr, Sarah, I don't think so. Not any car. At least, not statistically speaking.

Oh and it gets worse:

The research team, led by Dr Qazi Rahman, used virtual reality simulations of two common tests of spatial learning and memory developed at Yale University.

In one, volunteers had to swim through an underwater maze to find a hidden platform, while the second involved exploring radial arms projecting from a central junction to receive 'rewards' .

Well clearly the study is flawed. The gay men were looking for each other, derrr. Who knows what the lesbians were up to.
