Good thing it wasn’t a Ford Pinto; those things are unsafe.

However, she still gets a free prison scholarship. Watch her switch to law.

She was at 100 mph, having started accelerating two miles away.

Not much love here for Freddy Nietzsche, my man. Except for the howling at the moon part he wasn't a bad guy, and you know who had him committed for the last time? His wife and his sister.

Sure, he was the guy who said "When thou goest to women do not forget thy whip", prompting Bertrand Russell to reply "Nine out of ten women would have got the whip away from him and he knew it..." And from Wiki:

Additionally, he [Nietzsche] commanded the German emperor to go to Rome to be shot and summoned the European powers to take military action against Germany, writing also that the pope should be put in jail and that he, Nietzsche, created the world and was in the process of having all anti-Semites shot dead.

That was the year 1900. Seems pretty level-headed to me.

As bad as putting desCarte before de horse.

A lifetime gig

Friend: "Yeah, she's cute, but moody. Do you like her?"

Watson: "Heidegger."

Friend: "Just, be careful. They say she turns mean after she's had a few."

Are YOU drunk?
She drove 158 meters according to the story. That is about 500 feet.

Sounds like she flunked philosophy. Couldn’t answer the question is murder morally acceptable? She probably answered, depends.
