Bikes and Feet
Interesting lunch hour.
BIKES!
While walking to the bank, I noticed that the "American Vehicles Only" rule for government employees doesn't seem to apply to motorcycle cops in this town. The officer lecturing the careless driver had a very sleek, powerful looking Honda. I consider motorcycles beautiful, especially the ones designed for speed, and not to try to prove that fat middle-aged businessmen actually have penises.
I'd almost get a bike, except I remember the thread from yesterday where a motorcyclist was using a 30 year-old study to try to show that helmets do no good in preventing head injuries. And then I remembered I'm not crazy enough to ride again.
FEET!
The Asian market behind my workplace is very large and nice, and has a huge deli full of well prepared items that look and smell wonderful. But...why does it have a serving bin full of steamed-white chicken feet!? CHICKEN FEET! Lying in a pile, all white and pimply and claw-ish...I think I'll stick with the pork buns for lunch; at least I don't know what's in those.

They will also protect you from road rash, concussions and many other injuries that happen when you fall off.
The only thing that helmets do not assist in or do not aid in preventing is a severe and rapid stop brought about from hitting a wall or other object. But anything strong enough to snap your neck with a helmet is strong enough to snap your neck without the helmet.

Let us just say that I obviously got what intelligence I have from them, as neither of them would ever even think of riding without a helmet, and consider people who do either "time to clean out the gene pool" stupid, or simply suicidal.
