do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

funny stuff.  Radars suck.  They'll clock a standing tree going 90 miles an hour.  They are one of the worse guages of speed (for the law enforcement) but is still stands in court.. Unless you've done your homework.

The best measurement is the laser (and even then it's not foolproof) and the distance measurement.  Where they'll be two lines across the road at a set distance from each other.  The officer will time the seconds it takes for a vehicle to pass from one line to the other.  If it's before a set number of seconds (adjusted for human error), then the vehicle couldn't be driving the speed limit and gets ticketed.

I remember a while back a squirrel got caught by a speed camera doing 67mph or something.

Mal: Define "interesting".

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

So, that's what LSD does to squirrels...

Maeglamor - try this for a jet-car... http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-04.html

Maybe this one would spring off a radar as supersonic.

I don't know if it's a hoax or not, but it's a damn interesting thing to do. Not that I'd try :D

The moral still is: Don't use JATOs.
