Ok, is it me or wasn't the whole Ben Collins is the Stig thing out last winter? Why is it news again. We knew who it was then, some of us didn't forget. What is up with the media. Sounds to me like the Stig wants some attention for his book.

You mean the Stig is not Schumacher?

If the Stig was Schumi then the Rubens episode would have been epic.

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2...ted-by-sex-toy



ELMWOOD PLACE - An Elmwood Place police officer who stopped a car because it had illegally tinted windows received a bit of a shock when he looked inside. Officer Ross Gilbert said the driver, Colondra Hamilton, a 36-year-old Downtown resident, was sitting with her pants unzipped and a sex toy in her lap. He said Hamilton told him she was using the toy while watching a sex video on a laptop computer that a passenger in the front seat held up so she could see it.

LOL at 'Colondra' -- sounds like a name Dr. K would give to a daughter

Not sure there was a win. The captain of the boat -- seen falling overboard -- died. His wife took him off life support a few days ago.

He was a very experienced charter captain who simply chose a bad wave to ride into Jupiter Inlet (in FL), and the wave collapsed (broke) beneath his boat.

The common approach to dealing with breaking waves as you enter an inlet is to simply ride the back of the wave in front of you (and not climb up it or allow the wave behind you to catch up to you). By all accounts, that's what he was doing when this wave did something very unusual. Sad situation.
