Canadian winter nights are long and usually quiet, but one exception was the night Constable Morgan responded to a drunk driver call. He caught up to the errant driver and fell in behind in order to establish the commission of the crime. In a short distance, the driver missed a curve and slid into a snow bank. Morgan switched on his lights, stopped his patrol unit, and approached the driver's door. The driver decided to flee. His tires, mired in the snow, spun wildly but the car went nowhere. Constable Morgan thought he would have a little fun. He began running in place alongside the driver's window. The driver was surprised to see the Constable keeping up with his car. The speedometer read 60 mph.
Constable Morgan broke the window glass with his flashlight and ordered, "Pull over!" The driver's response? He jammed the pedal to the metal! The car's speedometer had reached 130 mph yet, astonishingly, the Constable was keeping pace and ordering the driver to stop. Finally, convinced he was never going to outrun the fleet-footed officer, the drunk man let off the gas, turned the wheel, and brought his car to a "stop." The Constable escorted the man to his patrol vehicle, which had magically followed the two on their mad dash across the snow-covered tundra.
The man was charged with DWI, speeding, and failing to yield to a policeman. Brought before the judge for arraignment, the man, who had not quite regained his wits, saluted the incredible athletic prowess of the local officers.

Man he must have been quite a bit over the limit.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Only a Canadian Cop would do that... Of course only a Canadian would get drunk enough to believe it...

Re: Supposedly true story
It's a joke; the guy is so plastered he thinks he's driving 130 mph, when he's actually stuck in a snow bank - it's almost like he wasn't just drinking. How do you hallucinate something like that if you're just drinking?IanKennedy wrote:I'm not sure where the LSD comes in?

Re: Supposedly true story
most debris carried in hurricaes is probably already solid, so in a certain sense, the hurricanes are already frozen. But, if the temperature inside the hurricane is below 0 degrees C, i find that something highly unlikely due to the immense amount of energy present in a hurricane. i'd assume that enough of that energy is converted into thermal engergy, i.e. temperature of above o degrees C.
I am speculating at this point, so take this with a grain of salt.
