    Here's What Humans Might Look Like If We Had Evolved to Survive Car Crashes

    This is Graham. Graham has trouble getting dates, and he's not sure why. Is it his fat, bulbous head? Or perhaps it's the fact that his face looks like it had an anvil dropped on it and his ears seem to be retreating from yet another Colt Ford abomination. Or maybe it's all of those extra air sacks lining his rib cage and the fact that his hoof-like legs are, well, hoof-like?

    Kidding, of course. Because in another world—one where humans have evolved as fast as automobiles have—Graham might be the perfect specimen. This is according to Melbourne, Australia's Transport Accident Commission, which had a trauma surgeon, a crash expert, and a Melbourne artist team up to design a car-crash-proof human. The TCA is known for its penchant for shock, and Graham is part of its new Toward Zero road-safety campaign.
    Pictures at the link. It looks nothing at all like a bandicoot.
    Enjoy.

    I think he was at my junior prom. But definitely not my date.

      I've definitely seen him at the beach in Florida.
      "Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)
