    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Police are investigating whether he was speeding when he lost control of the car on the 50mph road.

    Thats about right, 18/19 year old lads struggle to keep 1.1 litre fiestas on the road without wrapping them round a tree/lamp post/other car, never mind a supercar! They all think they're road handling experts when they really know knack all about handling!

    So the kid and his ladyfriend passenger walked away, eh? I wonder if he'll get around to committing full on vehicular homicide next time. God, do I loathe careless drivers and over the top speedsters.

    I know this took place in Germany, but out of interest, does the UK have a vehicular homicide or similar statue?
