Man in Wheelchair Accidentally Hitches An 80 mile per Hour Ride On A Big Rig

A man in Michigan who is in a wheelchair was at a gas station and accidentally got his chair attached to the front end of a Semi-truck. The driver drove away without noticing and reached speeds of up to 80 miles per hour before pulling off to a truck stop when police were called by passing motorists. The man in the wheelchair was held safely in his chair by the seat belt provided on the chair. I don't know what that man's situation is relating to his bladder but if I was him I would have lost mine even if I had originally had control of it.

Who Americans Are And What They Do, In Census Data

Check out this article. Information from the census report shows all kinds of good info. Some examples: Americans drank more than 23 gallons each of bottled water almost 10 times as much as in 1980 and finally surpassing themselves in how much beer they drink. Americans are still the fattest people on the entire planet. Men who have had same sex encounters is around 6% (not counting the homosexual population) and women who have had same sex encounters is around 11% (not counting the homosexual population). American Indians are most likely to be told they have a learning disability. More people are injured by wheelchairs than lawn mowers. Bicycles are involved in more accidents than any other consumer product but weirdly enough beds rank a close second. Nevada still remains with the highest divorce rate with Arkansas trailing close behind.
