TSA: Dumb as Ever

REPORT: Utah DoT Admits Higher Speed Limits has Worked Out to Less Speeding

When the Utah DOT raised the speed limit on two pieces of I-15 from 75 mph to 80 mph, it discovered that driving habits didn’t change. When the limit was 75 mph, the Utah DoT found that drivers were going between 81 and 85 mph. And now that the maximum limit is 80 mph, it has found that drivers are going between 83 and 85 mph.

Doctors Implant Tooth into Eye, Restore Sight!

Osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis. It’s a real procedure that really does revive people’s ability to see, yet we get the feeling that people will be more, um, excited about how it’s done than why it’s done.
