Ravings of a Nomadic Mind

You know about all those useless studies that go around the world, studies that come up with really stupid results that any one on the street with an iota of common sense already knew about after years of wasted time and money. Well, i heard about a similar study recently where a bunch of swiss scientists came up with a study as to why people speed. Well to cut it short it says young men speed when they hear masculine words. Words like Muscle and beard and people slow down when they hear a feminine word like lipstick and pink.

So i mean if ure going round a corner and listening to nirvana or thinking about going to a service center to get your car repaired or even after you have seen the "Top Gun" you will end up getting a ticket or in a ditch beside the road. Well may be not "Top Gun" its like a little gay isn't it. i know I'm going to get shot for that. any way so you if you're driving along peacefully well under the speed limit and u see this great fat swiss chef with a big beard smiling at you from a billboard you are certainly going to get into trouble. and it must be really really difficult during Christmas time i mean that fat old coot in a big red jacket with white trimmings and a great big beard is all over the place and in every one heads.

funnier still if you really believe the study all you need to slow down warm blooded young men is to put pictures of commly young woman wearing pink lipstick and every one would be driving at sober speeds and there wont be any accidents. I mean if you want to cause a pile up on the express way with a bus up your back side all you have to do is yell "bra" and people hearing that would stop dead where ever they are with every one who hadn't heard the word piling up behind them. Come to think of it that is what happens we are surrounded with commly young women in skimpy clothes on every billboard and it never helps a tinge. people still drive too fast and too rash to do any one any good.

i think it all comes down to education temperament and empathy for fellow human beings and the ot blood that flows through us human beings, i mean how else could u explain that India with its road conditions and some of the slowest traffic speeds still manages to kill more people in road accidents than the rest of the world combined.

i read some where that a lot of people were concerned that the launch of Tata Nano will cause bigger traffic problem, snarling jams, and will push the fuel prices through the roof and thus the car should be taxed to the extremes. i don't think a cheap, affordable car is going to cause more accidents or traffic snarls, in fact i think it would save lives by getting people of two wheeled buses that most Indian families seem to ride. T only way we can make the world safer is by educating people and inculcating empathy for fellow humans and by spending the money wasted on these stupid studies to improve our road conditions.
