Last night while I was driving home, I saw a car crash.  I was sitting at a red light at Beach and Ellis when an old man towing a small motor boat crosses the intersection (he had a green light) and turned right into the Jack In The Box parking lot.  He's taking his time and understandably so--I wouldn't want to trash by boat either.  The problem is that now there are two cars behind him, and one, a white Tacoma, is sitting in the middle of the intersection.  I started looking left down Beach to see if some asshole was driving in the right lane at 80mph--it happens.  The old man finally makes it into the drive though making enough room for the Tacoma to clear the intersection, but the boat is still blocking the street.  Two kids, who were maybe 18 or so, pull up beside me in a beat up red Mazda (I don't know the model) in the right lane.  The driver looks left, sees it's clear and floors it right into the back of the Tacoma.  It was like a cartoon.  The Mazda was going fast enough to pop its rear wheels off the ground, and also send the Tacoma into the car in front of it.  Of course I'm watching this whole thing slow motion, and I actually reach out and yell "NOOO!" as if I could somehow grab the Mazda and stop it.  Does that count as me trying to use The Force?  Dave from my lab (he has a blog too, very funny) asked me if I ever tried to use The Force, and up until now I never have.  I'm just wondering if that counts even though it was involuntary.  I was also wondering if there was anything I could have done to prevent the accident.  Yelling "NOOO!" obviously didn't work; they couldn't hear me.  I can't honk, because then the honk comes from the wrong direction.  I think the only thing that could have worked involves discovering that I have superpowers.

On a side note this reminded me of another Louis C.K. clip I saw on YouTube.  It's only an audio clip with pictures, but it was the only one I could find.
