The Sad But True Pictures Thread

I'll never understand why people do this.

It's a cute picture and all, but do we know that the Vette was sitting in traffic and got rolled over by an inattentive driver? 'Cause that happens.

So, that's your story, counselor?

Given that the Vette is at least 2 cars lengths back from the intersection, we can surmise that it stopped behind a couple of other cars. One wonders why the truck was going fast enough to obliterate the Vette when there clearly had to be other cars stopped in front of the Vette. I suppose they all cut in front of the truck and slammed on their brakes?

And now back to another sad but true pic:

I'd buy your argument, except that the truck appears to be solidly in the right lane while the Corvette is between lanes. It appears more that it cut close in front of the truck and then slowed (possibly to take the corner) when it was run over.

I'm wondering if there was a passenger sitting in that right hand seat. The resolution on that photo isn't really good enough to see any skid marks on the road if the car was forcibly moved by the truck.

I think if we don't know the actual story it's impossible to know the details well enough to say whose fault it was. Driver might have swerved in front of the truck not giving him time to stop. Truck driver may not have been paying attention and just ran over the stopped car. I guess we'll just make whatever we want of it. I say Godzilla got tired of playing with the truck and dropped it on the car.

Regardless of the reason:
Truck - 1
Corvette - 0
Arguing the cause on the Internet - Priceless

The NIH reports:
"We know a lot about where marijuana acts in the brain and how it affects specific sites called cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are found in brain regions that influence learning and memory, appetite, coordination, and pleasure. That’s why marijuana produces the effects it does. Research suggests that the effects on memory, learning, and intelligence can be long term and even permanent in people who begin using marijuana regularly as teens."

Well, if a glacier melted in 1932, wouldn't it still cause the ocean to rise?
