"Smile in car camera" sticker and tailgaters

:laugh: I'm just guessing that there are enough "keywords" there that if you weren't being monitored before, you are now!

Oh, if that post would do it, I was on the list a loooong time ago. sciencemadness.org and roguesci.org saw to that, I'm certain. Good luck to 'em. They're smart enough to see that while I've diverse and unconventional interests, I pose no threat to anything/one. I'd just like to enjoy life, learn/understand as much as I can and help others do the same.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Unfortunately, I've got the imagination (and at times, it seems, sense) of a house-brick. Not a single word of my post is a lie. I couldn't make the stuff up if I tried. :laugh: His name is Arthur Carnes IV, the site was RogueSci.org and here's a couple of choice snaps of the b@stard. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/arthur-carnes[^] http://www.news10.net/news/article/183813/2/Jury-returns-guilty-verdict-in-Galt-mans-dismemberment-murder[^] Mr 'pop-bottle' went by the name of "Chris The Great"

Just wanted to make sure that you know that I was not being sarcastic, I actually believe you as everything hangs together in the story.

I think you are confusing "common sense" and "government"... :laugh:

:thumbsup: Cheers mate, no - there's no problem. You didn't come across as sarcastic. I hope my response didn't come across poorly. I'm like a sponge for stories like that and figured some more info would give you the means to look into any further if desired. The range of human behaviour is both awe-inspiring and truly stupefying at times. The most interesting things always happen around the fringes, I think. Psychopaths are a truly fascinating bunch.

I have become tired of the tailgating redacted term who appear to believe that 6 feet is a safe distance to keep when travelling at 50+mph. So as well as a front facing camera, I am now installing a rear facing camera into my car. The rear facing camera comes through on Monday however in the meantime I placed a sticker in the rear window that says "smile in car camera recording". Strangely enough since the sticker has been there everyone is driving a good distance behind me, I am still getting the camera. It's interesting how just the presence of a sticker suddenly increases the intelligence of people. I once saw a very interesting interview with a mortuary worker who was asked "what is the one thing a person can do to prolong their life?" and the mortuary worker answered - the one thing they were aware of that would, statistically speaking, extend your life is keeping a good distance from the car/truck in front.

I heard somewhere about a driver who adjusted the nozzle of the passenger side window washing fluid sprayer so it sprayed up and over the top of his car. When someone followed to close, he juiced them.

Nah, ASIOs a smart bunch. The government not so much. There's reasonably good separation between the two entities unless I'm mistaken. In any case, what's done is done and was so a long time ago. Can't change it now - I've known for a decade I may have been walking around with a neon sign that says "I'm over here". That's if I hadn't been wearing it 15 years prior to that.

Yes, I miss my dad. He was the best.

Putting a sticker on your car increases the life expectancy of those following you, unless I misunderstand your account of the conversation with the mortician. So, [insert Afaal's original comment here] And yes, I realize that it's pointless if you already understand the correlation between increased mortality and following distance - just as I'm aware that jokes get exponentially less funny the more they're explained..

But, sometimes if delivered properly**, over-explaining a joke can actually make it quite funny. Norm Macdonald has a knack for that. **Delivery is everything. In many cases, the content of the joke isn't important.
