hydrogen and stupidity

Yesterday on 167 a woman broke her femur in a car accident. A man was charged for wreckless driving in the incident. The headline in the Journal reads, "Crash creates traffic nightmare."

Oh, sure, a woman broke her femur, but you should have SEEN that traffic.
Come on Journal, have a heart.

  2. No, it's an allusion to something Harlan Elison said: "The two most abundant things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity."

    Similarly, Einstein said:
    "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity -- and I'm not sure about the former."
