By -
Ever tried to impress someone on a dating site? How about taking a selfie with a tiger? Apparently, this is a big enough issue in NY that we have to pass a law about it...

So proud right now.

New York state lawmakers have passed a bill banning residents from taking “tiger selfies” — a rising trend on dating websites in which single men post photos of themselves posing with the ferocious felines in hopes of impressing potential mates.
Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat, explained that she introduced the legislation in order to increase safety at circuses and fairs, but acknowledged proudly that it would also put the kibosh on tiger selfies, which have become increasingly popular on dating websites Tinder and OKCupid, the New York Post reported.
The bill prohibits “hugging, patting, or otherwise touching” tigers at fairs or circuses.
“They can still pose with bears and monkeys,” the assemblywoman said. “They just have to take big cats off their list.”
“I feel bad now,” cracked Miss Rosenthal’s staffer Lauren Schuster, the Post reported. “We’re killing bros’ dreams and chances of being laid!”
New Yorkers who cuddle a jungle cat would face fines of up to $500.
A spokesman for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the Post that the bill was under review.

They don't really know anything about cars, about driving, about limits of adhesion, how to react when things go badly, or what snow does to your ability to drive. In fact, most people think that driving slowly, regardless of what lane you are in, whether you are merging onto a highway or holding up 50 cars behind you, means "being a good driver." Just because you have spent many years driving in the left lane at 65mph does not make you a good driver, in fact, just the opposite. A good driver means you know how to drive, not that you have gotten lucky or simply average for the past 10 years. Personally, I would love to see a class in high school devoted to driving. I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
