This morning's stupidity

Out of many views in my motorcycle's dashboard, there is one which shows average KM/h and litre/100 KM. Another one shows Litre/KM and Litre/100 KM. I usually set it to latter in city to maintain fuel average. This morning, I started for office and noticed the numbers are really high for fuel average (litre/KM). I was doing the calculation and noticed that litre/100KM is wrong. I spent entire ride (17 minutes) calculating deviations and thinking that good folks who make this can't get basic mathematics right. It was only after I reached office I realized that I was looking at KM/h and L/100KM view and not L/KM and L/100KM view. :doh: I just finished a rather large quantity of coffee hoping I function properly for rest of the day.

That's not that stupid! The news this morning was covering someone getting a new word world record for Bungee Dunking[^] Now, that's stupid!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The autoveloxes are more dangerous than useful IMHO because they force the driver to put too much attention to the speedometer to the detriment of the attention on the road. My (only) car accident happened precisely because I reacted half a second too slowly - I had to watch the speedometer to be sure I was under the limit - to a car which suddenly stopped in front of me. Of course if the idiot in the other car had used the indicators in due time instead of suddenly braking because she just remembered she had to stop at the gas station (on the other side of the road) probably it would have been better...

That's okay, my new car has a built-in 0-60MPH timer. Now that's something that will get you in trouble, and is highly distracting as well. I'm in so much trouble when gas goes back up :-D
