No laughing matter, since the guy got killed, and not a monorail, but a "life-imitates-Simpsons" kind of thing anyway

Solar power... When will people learn?

Part of the humor here is that many people were killed in accidents on the same day under the same circumstances except that the cars were not solar powered. So this is what we have lowered ourselves to, making fun of people who are killed in auto accidents? Or maybe we are just making fun of the way people use straw man fallacies to win arguments? You know what I mean, the fact that the car was solar powered is irrelevant, but we use that as a straw man fallacy to say that solar power is dangerous. WHY AM I WASTING MY TIME WITH THIS? We are supposed to devote our intellectual energies to humor in this ng, and not anything else!
