Breakfast Links: Walking v. Talking, Swimming & Killing Giant Monsters
Ben IM’d me this beauty yesterday. Apparently London is very concerned about the rash of inattentive texters walking in to lampposts. Their big fix is padding the posts… are they serious? That’s so dumb, I mean, if it were America, we’d just pass a law making them wear helmets. Y’know? That’s the smart way to do it! Either that or put little spikes on all the lampposts, that’ll learn ya right fast. This follows on some research that shows people take more risks when they have mobile phones. Save us from ourselves, o’ great governments!
If talking on your phone and walking isn’t enough excitement for you, perhaps you’d like to go to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe where you can swim right up to the edge of the 100 meter drop off… That is so…. awesome. I really. really. really. want to go there. Really.
And if that still isn’t enough fun for you. Imagine how you would attempt to save your city from gigantic attacking monsters. The Danger Room explores in a two part exposé the proper way to put an end to your monster troubles. Dropping bombs or anti-tank guns are for pansies. F the airforce and the army, man. When you really need something big put down, you need to call in the Navy! Or nukes, but really let’s be realistic here, just the Navy!
