Pat Robertson has predicted a pretty gruesome year after hearing directly from the Big Guy Upstairs. Luckily, Robertson got it wrong last year when God told him to predict a nuclear attack on U.S. soil.
He later explained that he lost his connection before God could finish: “There will be a nuclear attack in the U.S. … on season 6 of ‘24,’ which, by the way, will be lame.”
Drivers talking on cell phones go slower and add time to other people’s commutes, a new study says. The time could add up to 20 hours a year if you’re stuck behind them, and let’s face it: You always are.
Researchers also found such drivers were disproportionately on the receiving end of honked horns and obscene gestures, but none of them had noticed.
