I'm also very interested in the 'Atheist vs. Pledge of Allegiance' Supreme Court case [Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow (docket - briefs)]. This guy's argument is so far-fetched that it borders on crazy, and I already know what the outcome is going to be, but it's still hilarious.

Aggressive drivers that wimp out - very annoying. It's one thing to be a slow, timid driver (which is dangerous and annoying at times, but at least it's predictable). It's a different matter when you're pretending to be an aggressive, 'take charge' kind of driver, but then you wimp out, and you're non-courteous at the last second - very unpredictable and very annoying. Then to have the gall to flip the bird. It's a good thing that road rage is so passé. And, for Heaven's sake, use your blinkers! This person this morning in a new, orange Toyota truck tries to cut me off (without signalling), speeds up but then hesitates to change lanes, so he slows way down and nearly misses the on-ramp, I slow down to let him in, and he won't take the lane, just sits there, so I honk for him to go, and he still won't go, so I proceed, then he speeds up really fast and his passenger gives *me* the finger, when it's them who are the idiot drivers! Bizarre. I don't think you deserve the finger when you're trying to be courteous and let someone in, and they're too timid or retarded to proceed - I think they must've been embarrassed by their public blunder, so they felt the unwarranted need to vent their embarrassment. Very odd behavior.

Finally was able to find the "KR1215" benchmark (without a GPSr), based upon some recent advice from 'nvsrvyr', who recently found it also.
