Man is killed helping ducklings off interstate

I'd take a guess that the limo driver wasn't ticketed because the dead guy wasn't in a cross walk.

That's quacky.

why do animals try to cross busy roads? it's a suicide mission.

the amount of dead cats, hedgehogs even foxes on the road is unbelievable.

they see a road and just run across. like playing russian roulette.

I was in California a couple weeks ago, and I saw three dead racoons in maybe 20 minutes of road. Quite bizzare.

Playing around with ducks in the middle of the interstate is an odd way to die.

Were the ducklings charged? They were clearly luring him to his deathxaos

Is it me or is OT a bit more depressing than usual? I'm just gonna get it over with and cry my ass of watching the ending to P.J.'s King Kong.

You could play Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie and cry your ass off the whole time.

OT has been a little depressing lately. Bunch of articles about beauty queens getting stoned, little boys getting their weiners cut off, and ducklings dying. Wait a minute...

Did the duckies live? The article didn't say. If they made it to saftey, these sirens must be found, and punished.

:'(

How sad.

...unless he was an total idiot he obviously didn't just step out in front of the limo and probably wouldn't have even gotten onto the road unless he felt he had time to move the ducklings.

He stopped his car in a place you're not supposed to stop it in order to assist ducks.

That's quacky.

That is so sad. It always seems to be the people who are trying to do good by the world that die, and then people who do bad live. I think I need to start playing Dexter...

I'm a horrible person, but I loled HARD when I read the title. And I know death is never funny, but that is the most hilarious death I've ever heard of.

Again, I'm sorry for being such a terrible person. My condolences to the man's family.

The thread with the missing cat is pushing me over the edge. I may have to...close...my browser! O_O

InEMplease

Oh f*** me, I missed that one. Don't close your browser. Go watch some porn for a bit; that'll get you chipper.

]to be fair if he's gonna cross a freeway to help ducks he's not exactly the smartest person in the world to begin withmems_1224

Exactly.

Of course more information is needed to know exactly what happened...

SaintLeonidas

I agree; we need more information to come to a definitive conclusion. So do the cops too, probably. In the mean time, I'll work with the information given to me: Someone stopped his car where you're not supposed to stop your car in order to help ducks.

Edit: Nevermind. It turns out I totally can admire two beautiful women making love on eachother after hearing about a missing kitty.

InEMplease

There you go. :)

So, uh... Too early for a "Why did the duck cross the road?" joke?

True...but if he saw no other cars, reason to worry about being hit, I don't see how that says anything about how smart he is. The guy loves animals, saw some ducklings that needed help, and if he stepped onto the road with not many cars around (a situation in which one could easily do, even on a highway) then I don't think it makes him any bigger of an idiot than the guy who couldn't avoid the dude standing in the road. So they are both dumb, but only one guy killed the other.

He died a hero.Artekus

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] He pulled over into the right shoulder, out of traffic, and as I said before he wouldn't have just stepped out if he saw the limo was close enough to not be able to avoid him. I just don't see how the limo couldn't have avoided him unless he was speeding, blind, or not paying attention. Of course more information is needed to know exactly what happened, but I just highly doubt the guy walked into on coming traffic, he must have though he had time meaning there was a distance between him and any other cars giving them time to slow/stop/avoid him, and so the limo driver should be punished in some way.SaintLeonidas

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] We can only assume there were a lot of cars and like I said we need to know more but looking at the highway it had 4 lanes. Again even with there being a lot of cars, I'm not sure how the limo driver was not able to avoid the guy standing there with that many lanes, and how he couldn't have at least slowed/stopped.SaintLeonidas

Again, assuming, no matter the time there are always chances of breaks in traffic, areas with little congestion and this could have been one of these cases. Plus with 4 lanes there would be time to move, even if in short notice and not hit the guy head on. But as I said more information needs to be known.SaintLeonidas

The chance of a break in traffic on the interstate in the middle of Chicago during rush hour is pretty much zero.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] at 9:30 am there would have been a lot of cars. thats when everyone goes to work. have you ever tried to avoid hitting something going 60mph?? its not easy :|

How do you walk infront of a limo? It's not like they are little or hard to see.
