We all need a good laugh.

Okay, sorry everyone. Let's try this link. Can't guarantee it will work, but it's copyrighted footage, and thus can't be shown on Youtube. It's a series of several cars on one day skidding very badly on the same icy bridge of a highway. Some cars spin 180 degrees and get hit by other cars (but no bad injuries it looks like, except for maybe the first car)

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/us - go down to the list of all the videos. In the 5th or 6th row is a video titled, "Cars spin on icy roads."

That's really weird; I'm sorry. I wonder if people who are on computers in the U.S. can access this: It may have something to do with the formatting of URLs (technical stuff beyond me). I'll be at a different pc tomorrow and will check to see if I can open it from there.

AH! It's on youtube now, but it might be taken off from there because it's copyrighted footage. This clip is not particularly funny (and not a joke), but it's interesting. I've spun out a couple of times on ice (at night), and it's scary when you're not trying to do it.

Any luck yet?

If not, I give up, faster than the French against the Germans and the Italians against the Allies ...
