Here in Chicago, people like to cross the street when one direction has cleared, then stand along the line in the middle of the lanes awaiting the other side to clear. I’ve often thought this is unsound survival behavior, to put your fate so fully in the hands of another human being who is probably talking on a cell phone or messing with their iPod in the car. This video illustrates quite well why I do not engage in this behavior, myself.
(Warning: The footage, although not particularly graphic, is quite disturbing to witness.)

Mmmm, how many points did that score.
How could someone NOT see these three people????
Another drunk on the road?

I see people do that with their children all the time here. It kind of drives me crazy, aren’t you supposed to protect your little DNA-carriers?
Ugh, the link doesn’t work… *gloom*

Fixed it – sorry about that.
