Driving while day dreaming can cause you to be late for work. When I finally snapped out of my mental vacation it took me several seconds to realize where I was – miles past where I should have turned. It was a bit unsettling, to say the least.

Isn’t that driving without due care and attention and therefore dangerous?

That’s an interesting point. I used to regularly drive three hundred (mostly motorway) miles. I was always ready for the unexpected and when it happened I was always alert enough to take the appropriate action. And yet, several times on the motorway I couldn’t be sure if I had passed a particular town. I once didn’t notice Bristol!
I don’t think you can possibly keep up full levels of concentration (such as you would on your driving test) for hours at a time on a motorway. In a way, to try and do that would be dangerous in itself. I reckon the brain prioritises some tasks. It doesn’t mean that you will not be able to react if a car suddenly veers across your lane but if you are contentiously thinking of this and all the other possibilities, you will not be able to safely drive long distances.
I think it’s a more a complicated subject than it appears.

A lot of people don’t notice Bristol either. Little point.

Offline I’m not a fan of big cities but Bristol does a few nice things like the Clifton suspension bridge and the SS Great Britain. 
I suppose because Bristol couldn’t actually jump out and burst my tyres I must have just ignored it!

These are the reasons that you would be admitted into an insane asylum from 1864 – 1889.
At some point, I feel like this list might as well just say “Being born will most likely get you in an insane asylum”.

Charles Manson was actually trying to get revenge on Terry Melcher, a record exec who refused to sign him after hearing some demos he had recorded with Brian and Dennis Wilson. Melcher moved out of his house of Cielo drive, which was occupied by Sharon Tate during the Manson Murders.

Offline According to the Almighty Wikipedia’s article for serial killer:
The English term and concept of “serial killer” are commonly attributed to former FBI Special agent Robert Ressler in 1974, [8][9] and author Ann Rule postulates in her book, Kiss Me, Kill Me (2004), that the English-language credit for coining the term serial killer goes to LAPDdetective Pierce Brooks, who created the ViCAP system in 1985.[10]
However, there is ample evidence the term was used in Europe and the U.S. earlier. TheGerman term and concept were coined by the influential Ernst Gennat, who described Peter Kürten as a Serienmörder (literally “serial murderer”) in his article “Die Düsseldorfer Sexualverbrechen” (1930).[11] And, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the specific term “serial killer” first arose abroad in a 1960s German film article written by Siegfried Kracauer, about the German expressionist film M (1931), portraying a pedophilic Serienmörder.
I wasn’t previously aware that the term was coined so recently.

I’d heard it was by Ressler so the earlier German history is new to me.

I was staying in a chateau in France before (she bragged). While I was lying in bed, I looked up and saw a little brown bat face staring right back at me. I promptly and calmly walked out to the parents, who got a fishing net, caught the bat, and placed him outside.
One of the strangest encounters in my life.

Also that the gene that is responsible for determining a human’s sex is inherited from the father. Take that, Henry VIII ( and all the fathers throughout history who have blamed their wives for not giving them sons).
