    I can barely even eat a burger while having a conversation on my cell phone and programming the GPS in a stick shift car accelerating from a light. Using a laptop while driving would just be wrong. Right now, I can steer with my knees, but how would you type? I mean, I don't think I could use my toes. Then again, maybe that's what is really needed: a remote keyboard that you can put down on the floor so that you can type with your toes while texting, eating a burger, programming the GPS AND holding a conference call! Yeah! That's it! I wonder if Amazon would market my invention?

    They need to make this Laptop Steering Wheel Desk so that it hangs from a pivot off the center of the steering wheel, so as the steering wheel is yanked, to avoid, say a head on collision, the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk will stay level, so your Big Mac won’t land in your lap, or on the carpet. #novelties

    Good luck picking those keys out of your skull, neck and vertebrae when the air bag blows. But the good news is, you'll have an internal modem.

    The chintzy-looking big italic numbers on the gauges suggest Korea. What do we think, viewers? #namethatcar

    @Canuck Chinaman: True that on the door pull, but I don't think the gauges are Honda. Every Honda I can remember being in has had that wide non-italic sorta futurey-looking typeface.

    Looking at the steering wheel, maybe it's a Subaru. Can't really make it out, and since no one really needs all-wheel-drive down here, I'm not very familiar with Subarus. HM! #namethatcar #novelties

    "This connection isn't sound. If my calculations are correct, it should be sometime around 2007 for whomever is reading this. DO NOT USE THESE CABLES. Something... happens with them. Something came through, something from somewhere else. We were overrun in days, not many of us are left. WE LIVE UNDERGROUND! ONLY YOU CAN STOP IT NOW. SAVE US. DO NOT USE THESE CABLES.

    I don't have much time. This connection isn't sound. If my calculations are correct, it should be--"


    "After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.

    Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within..."
