10 Deadliest Vehicles on the Road

The 10 most deadly vehicles on the road...according to Insurance Institute for Highway Safety based on actual traffic data not just crash tests.... don't buy a pick up truck if you want to live is the bottom line.  But why exactly these particular vehicles end up in more deadly crashes than others isn't mentioned, except that some vehicles are heavily used in the rental car industry.. and most people are less careful with property that they don't own. But they don't go into the personality type of the the car owner. The last vehicle mentioned Nissan 350Z 2-door looks like an arrogant man magnet... either the midlife crisis crowd or the 20 year old drunken frat boy. Imagine it in red.

Here is the Wall Street Journal article:

More James Dean

As with anything on the internet, you start out in one corner and end up down the rabbit hole.
Found some bizarre images of Dean on the set of "Giant" including some light bondage with Elizabeth Taylor... I have also included some iconic crash images..
Enjoy

James Dean / Paul Walker similarities

The similarities between the James Dean crash and Paul Walker crash are pretty strange... Here's a few so far
1. Dean died in a 1955 Porsche Super Speedster  --- Walker died in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT
2. Dean died in Salinas, California --- Walker died in Santa Clarita, California
3. Dean was heading to a race in Salinas California -- Walker had finished a charity race earlier in the day
4. Dean raced professionally -- Walker did too
5. Dean had his mechanic Rolf Wütherich in the car at the time of the crash (he lived) -- Walker had his racing buddy Roger Rodas in the car (he died)
6. James Dean was an actor ---- Walker was an actor
7. Both were extremely gorgeous men
Will do a bit more digging, but perhaps that is all I have right now

Paul Walker Crash

Mansion servant enslaved by uber-rich New York family for nearly six years

Too bad the wife wasn't in the plane too..

Read hilarous obit after... I think they need to do a revision

A wealthy New York woman is facing criminal charges after being accused of keeping an illegal immigrant as an indentured servant and forcing her to live in a closet for nearly six years.
Documents posted on the Smoking Gun allege that Annie George, 39, and her now-deceased husband, Mathai Kolath George, hired an illegal immigrant from the Indian state of Kerala. The immigrant, identified only as "V.M.," was promised about $1,000 a month in wages to live in the family's 34-room, 30,000-square-foot home, known as Llenroc mansion, which houses a helicopter pad, 15 fireplaces, marble flooring, 24-karat gold gilded ceilings and a glass elevator. V.M. was tasked with taking care of the Georges' four young children, along with performing household duties in the mansion located about 20 miles north of Albany.
New York's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Even if V.M. had been allowed to leave the residence at the end of a regular 40-hour workweek, she would have been entitled to a minimum, pretax income of $290 per week, or $1,160 per month.
Instead, the "forced labor situation" (as described in the court papers) was even worse than the already-below minimum wage offer of $1,000 month. V.M. received 85 cents an hour, working 17-hour days, seven days a week, over the 67 months she was kept inside the George residence.
All told, V.M. received only about $29,000 over the five and a half years she was forced to work for the George family.

The Smoking Gun reports that immigration agents received a tip from the National Human Trafficking Resource Center last year and removed V.M. from the George's property. The U.S. Department of Labor conducted its own investigation and says V.M. is entitled to $206,000 in back wages. She was also allegedly denied health benefits, sick days or any personal time off from her labors.
Annie George, whose husband died in a plane crash in 2009, reportedly called V.M.'s son three times, suggesting he "tell his mother to tell authorities that she was a relative of George's family and was only staying at George's house as a guest." However, V.M.'s son recorded the calls, which included a plea from Annie George, "If she says anything about working, it would become a big crime. They'll start adding up all the taxes and everything, for all the time."
According to the Smoking Gun documents, the George estate had been put up for sale for a reported $30 million.
Annie George appeared in court on Wednesday before a federal magistrate, facing charges of encouraging and inducing an illegal alien to reside in the U.S.

Grizzly Bear Charges Tourists in Alaska

Grizzly bears hate tourists as much as New Yorkers evidently... can't blame him

video from Youtube:

In the above video, a wild Grizzly bear suddenly charges at a group of Alaskan tourists. Thankfully, no one was hurt in the incident.
The group of 10 tourists was visiting Katmai National Park and was taking part in what was billed as a safe viewing of the Grizzly bears in their natural habitat, according to the Daily Mail. But one of the bears suddenly charged from its stream directly at the tourists, who were forced to sit in silence, lest they upset the bear further and provoke a potentially deadly attack. At one point, the bear reportedly got close enough to a tourist to sniff his hooded sweatshirt, before returning to the stream.
'We had a safety class beforehand about what to do if we encountered a bear," tourist Larry Griffith, 59, told the Daily Mail. "All the bears were catching fish when this particular bear circled our group several times, wanting us to leave his fishing spot. This was not supposed to happen. Our guide said he saw this as a bluff charge, trying to scare us, which he did! We were all in shock but were happy that no-one in our group jumped up, ran away or screamed for their lives."
Last December, a photograph by Michio Hoshino purportedly showing an impending fatal attack from a brown bear shortly before Hoshino's death went viral. However, although Hoshino was in fact killed by a brown bear in the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia in 1996, the picture was quickly revealed to be a hoax by the website Snopes.

I must give some love to these people, they didn't panic, grab a gun like a dumb hillbilly or start screaming. They read the bears body language which was similar to a New York saying  "Hey watch it buddy !" versus a thug about to mug you. It must have been cool to be close enough to smell Grizzly Bear breath !

Wrestling with Nudity

Even the naked need work, beside porn...

It's a rookie mistake at the informal interview: not wearing clothes.

A naked numbskull -- apparently on methamphetamine -- was caught on tape asking for a job at a welding shop on Saturday and then trying to fight off arresting officers in Sacramento, CBS 13 reported.

In a video captured by shop workers, Jose Ayala, 36, can be seen standing and then squatting in broad daylight as employees call the cops.

"I turn around and I'm like, whoa!" shop owner Chris Johnson told the station. "He said something about [how] he was looking for work, and he was good with his hands. I didn't know why a naked dude would be in my shop."

For most of the clip, Ayala stares off into space and scratches his head, either squatting or walking around aimlessly just outside the shop. But when officers arrive he becomes irate, trying to fight them off and even latching on to a female cop's hair before Johnson and his brother help pry the nude man off of her.

"This guy could have got a hold of either one of their pieces and it was dangerous," Johnson told ABC News 10.

The station reports that Ayala and the officer sustained minor scratches during the melee. Ayala was taken to the hospital for a checkup before cops threw him in jail on charges of officer assault and indecent exposure.
