The Foreman Awards For Excellence In Humanity

Welcome back edition

My apologies for not doing one of these for a month or so now, but life and work and the new CD have been getting in the way pretty constantly.

I have two wildly different contestants this week. Each masters of the Foreman form in their own way. First is the one we shall call

Space is deep, you are not.
There is a woman in Russia is suing NASA for the Tempel 1 experiment. Her case? She is an astrologer and they are interfering with her business. She is suing NASA for 300 million dollars.

Ok, the next one is a little more down to earth. I call this one

Suicycle
There are a lot of bikers around Ames, a lot of them. Most of them are pretty decent and know how to handle the roads around the town. I am heading out of town on the 65 mph highway and going the other way are two bikers. On the freeway. Riding. Slow. Uphill. Illegally.

UPDATE Those being bicycles of course ... not motorcycles, which of course would be legal on a highway.

I assume by bikers you are talking bicycle as opposed to motorcycle?

[ericcoleman]

Ahhh now I can make an informed decision. I was wondering what was so illegal about motorcycles going uphill slowly. I know in some places there are minimum speed limits and maybe this is what you were talking about.
