Top 10 Unwritten Rules Of The Road
10/23/10 -- Top Lists
“There isn’t a single page in your state’s driver’s handbook dealing with the unwritten rules of the road (otherwise, they wouldn’t be unwritten). That’s a problem, because too often they go unknown or aren’t followed. Fortunately, AskMen has just the addendum you need to be a better man and be better behind the wheel. These won’t come as groundbreaking revelations, but will serve as good reminders of common sense and courtesy to keep you from being that guy (like manning up and taking responsibility when you hit somebody, whether they’re driving or parked).

Pentagon’s Best Bomb Detector Is A Dog
10/23/10 -- Interesting
“Drones, metal detectors, chemical sniffers, and super spycams — forget ‘em. The leader of the Pentagon’s multibillion military task force to stop improvised bombs says there’s nothing in the U.S. arsenal for bomb detection more powerful than a dog’s nose. Despite a slew of bomb-finding gagdets, the American military only locates about 50 percent of the improvised explosives planted in Afghanistan and Iraq. But that number jumps to 80 percent when U.S. and Afghan patrols take dogs along for a sniff-heavy walk. “Dogs are the best detectors,” Lieutenant General Michael Oates, the commander of the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, told a conference yesterday, National Defense reports. That’s not the greatest admission for a well-funded organization — nearly $19 billion since 2004, according to a congressional committee — tasked with solving one of the military’s wickedest problems.” w/ photos
