You watch...a couple of deaths related to this, and before long NOBODY will be allowed by the NannyState to wear headphones in public. If you are wearing those headphones, how are you going to listen to Officer Friend's instructions?

Cars have gotten so quiet now we cant rely on hearing anymore, iPod or not. So don't. Look both ways. Crossing the street is not rocket science!

We C&W fans already have enough achy-breaky heartaches. Dont need no busted chopper (fallin from the sky). She was walk-in' to school (strum)
List'nin' to music (strum)
Yipee-ki-yay-kayopter (strum)
When all of a sudden (strum)
Right out of the sky (strum)
She was hit by a heli-copter! (strum)
[chorus]
Heli-copter!
Heli-copter!
My girlfriend was
dropped by chopper.

Often this goes beyond just the headphones and loud music. It’s also this mindset that the world is revolving around them and everything and everybody needs to get out of their way. Sometimes they are just, I don’t know, like fry-brains or daydreaming. Many times in my neighborhood I drive by kids that are actually defiant about having to get out of the road. They are either ticked off that I am disturbing their fun or they look at you with these blank expressions. Just the other day I drove around three kids standing in the road to one side, with their bikes and skateboards and they didn’t make not one move to get out of my way. Another time I was driving behind a kid (really too old to be called a kid) who was riding his skateboard down the street, weaving back and forth, taking up the whole road. He had absolutely no idea I was behind him (and he wasn’t listening to anything), and when I finally honked it startled him.

He should have been carrying one of those little umbrellas like Wiley does.

If you told him he was going to die that day, and gave him 1000 guesses as to how, he wouldn’t have gotten it right.

Correct.
As note in an earlier post.
Mia Culpa.
Was the death attributed to severe morsalization?

I would say that the cause of death was definitely from an overdose of kinetic energy.

If you told him he was going to die that day, and gave him 1000 guesses as to how, he wouldnt have gotten it right. He might have guessed that he would fall into a giant Cuisinart.
And you would have to give the kid Half credit.
