A friend of mins said she caught a show on the History Channel called "The Works" and the particular episode she caught was about motorcycles, specifically motorcycle helmets.

The episode spoke about helmet design, per my friend. Apparently, the most hit place on the head during a motorcycle accident is the chin which is why a lot of motorcycle helmets have reinforced chin areas. The show also brought up the uselessness of skull cap style helmets as well as other open faced helmets.

I couldn't find the episode online anywhere, but I did find this site.  Martin Hackworth (same guy?) is a physicist who rides motorcycles and instigates "anger management issues." 

If you've ever been interested in the physics behind two-wheeled fun machines, then this website might be of interested to you. If you're a lawyer or in court over a motorcycle related injury, he has expert testimony to provide as well.

Check it out.

Yeah, it was an older show. Season 1 episode 8, I believe. I was hoping an (un)authorized version was on YT somewhere, but nada.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
