I just heard on the news that there is ...it has to be an idiot!....who is suing an automaker because nobody explained to him how is the cruise control works. He was driving his motorhome down a highway and ,craving for coffee, decided to put the home on wheels in "cruise control" and then, calmly, proceeded to the rear chambers of his motorpalace, and got himself busy making coffee. I do not know how far he got though, before his Motorhome went crashing through the woods, he was lucky he made it in one piece, but apparently he got mad because he "spilled his coffee"

It is funny, amazing, and it was in the news yesterday, on CNN news reports. Perhaps it's a member of one of those alien fan clubs, they think the space aliens will come in and pick them up, and he thought his vessel was an actual UFO.
The only thing he will get from the courts is a free 5 year program at....the psiquiatric ward!

There is a CNN Article about this ... the TV broadcast may have been different.

A tragic misunderstanding of the function of cruise control? No, it didn't really happen ... it's an urban legend.
