Does Prius Sudden Acceleration Syndrome (PSAD) discriminate against the young?
As Theodore Frank at the Washington Examiner points out, here are the reported ages of all 24 of the fatal Toyota (TM) cases:
60, 61, 63, 66, 68, 71, 72, 72, 77, 79, 83, 85, 89
Could it be that Toyota's PR crisis is actually a crisis of older folks improperly slamming on the pedals, and not some mysterious manufacturing glitch? |

Physicist John Hunter is proposing a space cannon with a new design idea: it's mostly submerged. Many engineers have toyed with the space cannon concept, but nobody has came up with an actual project that may work. Hunter's idea is simple: Build a cannon near the equator, submerged in the ocean, hooked to a floating rig ... A system like this will cut launch costs from $5,000 per pound to only $250 per pound. It won't launch people into space because of the excessive acceleration, but those guys at the ISS can use it to order pizza and real ice cream. |
