You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

That's not really a fair analogy. It has you look for a specific color on a dark background then has a dark bear pass through. When you drive during the day you're looking in a less specific manner and are better able to identify things across the spectrum. If you're driving at night you're looking for light sources, which is why bikes have reflectors and sometimes lights. If you hit a biker that has no light source in the dark then.. well.. they kind of deserve it.

It's called inattentional blindness, and describes a tendency to not consciously perceive unexpected stimuli while engaged in an effortful discrimination task.

Heh, don't really care about what it says about me. I was just surprised at the end. At first I was like: Then I was like: You should be more like Cantrip. Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ."

Oh I'm sure the concept has merit, but if it applied to driving to the degree the imply, I suspect there'd be a lot more accidents than there are. I totally missed the bear in the video, but I've never run into anything while driving that I didn't see coming. Well. Except for a motorcyclist who, at night, was riding a dirtbike down the street with no lights so he was effectively invisible.

Rikaelus can make an excuse for anything, eh?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
