A Saudi Arabian Muslim told a Saudi news outlet that driving does damage to women's ovaries and pelvises, and that by driving they risk giving birth to children with 'clinical problems.' (WTF is the brain damage among men in Moslem?)

According to CNN, Sheikh Saleh Al-Loheidan told the Saudi news website sabq.org that medical studies have shown driving to affect women's ovaries and pelvises.

"We find that for women who continuously drive cars, their children are born with varying degrees of clinical problems," Al-Loheidan said.

Al-Loheidan's comments were made in reaction to Saudi Arabian activist attempts to organize women to defy the Kingdom's ban on female drivers. Over 12,000 women have signed up on the site Oct26driving.com, declaring their intention to defy the ban on Oct. 26.

"Since there are no clear justifications for the state to ban adult, capable women from driving. We call for enabling women to have driving tests and for issuing licenses for those who pass," the petition states.

NBC reported that while no law specifically prohibits women from driving, the notorious government sanctioned religious morality police arrest female drivers based on religious edicts.

Though the honest scorn and derision is completely my own. Go ahead, declare a religious WTF against me, see if I give a damn, I'm not going back to the sandbox... Australia is much more my style. 

biggest waste of tax dollars I've heard of lately, the NASA moon buggy mk2

It that a Hang Ten Dart on the left? With Keystones no less!

It's been a magazine cover car, and featured on Top Gear, Season 16 episode 7 I think.

Why is it such a waste of money? At the cost of getting a pound of matter into space, just launching it off the planet, is very high. But the bottom line? No one is going back to the moon, this 8000 pound moneypit wouldn't drive well because it weighs so damn much, with such small tires, and the moon has light dust soil that looks to be a foot or so deep(from the 1972 lunar rover videos). How much did it cost? Four and a half million dollars. That was a stupid waste of money.

Baltimore Maryland stoplight cameras grossly inaccurate and ripping off residents. City didn't bother releasing this info, the newspaper did

a secret audit from 2012 of the traffic cameras in Baltimore, MD should heat things up a bit. In an audit of the city's 83speed cameras, The Baltimore Sun is reporting that 13 had a double digit error rate, which helps account for a system-wide error rate of 10 percent. Of course, the secret part of this secret audit was that the findings were never released to the public.

City officials originally said that the cameras had an error rate of less than a quarter of a percent, but the audit found that most were not only off, they were way off – three specific locations in the city had error rates that varied from 35 to 58 percent. As the article points out, a total of 700,000 tickets were issued in fiscal year 2012 averaging $40, and a 10 percent error rate would mean that close to $2.8 million in fines were collected erroneously.
