When Your GPS Is Out To Get You...

Great article (that obviously isnt intending to be funny but actually is) about a guy who blamed his train-car crash on a "GPS mishap". Its only funny because its a bit true ... I cant tell you how many times my own GPS system has given me whacked-out directions. It tells me to turn into dead-ends, exit express-ways where no exit exists, merge onto streets that dont exist...etc. While it has saved my but quite a few times, it has also put me into danger on more than one occasion as well :)

And don't think its just me, and the unfortunate guy from the article! Fans of The Office should be well aware of a small incident Michael had with his car rental...

I read about that. Funny. We just got a GPS at Christmas -- haven't used it enough to crash into anything yet.

Ooooh! Have fun with your GPS! Most of the time mine is a saving grace, but I think you just need to remember you cant "trust" it ... blind faith puts you in the middle of a lake ;)
