- gberkshire, on 04/03/2009, -7/+424A girl scout who predicts the future? I see a Nicolas Cage movie coming out of this.
- mycoplasma, on 04/03/2009, -4/+279""I was absolutely devastated, and I was wondering what more I could have done," said Malia, adding that she cried at first and then got mad."
You'd cry too if you were involved in an onion truck collision. - yesbeegee, on 04/03/2009, -5/+251It cannot be! How can someone predict this without a multi-yr multi-million traffic study and a review panel?
- thematrix307, on 04/03/2009, -6/+159and thats the way the cookie crumbles!
edit: sorry for that - calmwriter, on 04/03/2009, -3/+124Little Malia has learned life's first and unfortunately most important lesson:
If you want the government to do anything at all, you better hire yourself a lobbyist. - wannaBdug, on 04/03/2009, -4/+107Way to go Malia. They'll name a cookie after you.
- LopezElGuapo, on 04/03/2009, -0/+74as someone who lives about a mile from this intersection - you're all missing the point. This was something many people saw coming for a long time, and we're all super pissed the state won't do anything about it.
Imagine a highway that goes down a steep, extremely winding mountain road with a 2500 foot elevation change, which ends with 1 mile straightaway with a 5% grade through a residential neighborhood, and that dead-ends into a restaurant and a bookstore. That might be a highway you didn't allow big rigs to drive on, maybe? That's what this part of Hwy 2 is and there's no good reason why big rigs can't take different routes that don't have the same potential for mayhem. The scene Wednesday night was like a war zone, it was terrible. - inactive, on 04/03/2009, -2/+65I wonder if she was old enough to realize that the board wasn't paying any attention to her at any point.
Her next PowerPoint presentation should be entitled "I Told You So - what happens when arrogant pricks run *****". There is a bright side, though. When the relatives of the dead catch wind that a frigging 16-year-old knew something that the board couldn't figure out, they're going to be set up for life in the upcoming onslaught of lawsuits.
Good work, City Council. Maybe you and the council in Detroit can get together and compare incompetentcies. - JonTheGoose, on 04/03/2009, -0/+47Bravo, sir.
- Frankyfan3, on 04/03/2009, -1/+45I would pay to see someone give a powerpoint presentation at a town hall called
"I Told You So - what happens when arrogant pricks run *****" - Gixxer18, on 04/03/2009, -4/+46I think she rigged the vehicle to kill the 2 people to make her study look legit. Throw her in jail IMO.
- Spartanious, on 04/03/2009, -0/+32.....I told you so?
- sockpuppets, on 04/03/2009, -7/+37I ate a Brownie once.
- peaceninja, on 04/03/2009, -8/+38Girl Scout motto: "Be prepared...or die".
Reminds me of how Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign killed off everyone who didn't support her. I won't name any victims' names, to avoid offense. - ejlhp, on 04/03/2009, -1/+30Common sayings ftw!
- Warom, on 04/03/2009, -5/+30Now, "predict" seems highly unlikely, lets put this puzzle together.
1) Girl scouts love getting attention.
2) Girl scouts usually have strength beyond that of a normal human being with the brain capacity equal to that of several scientists.
3) Girl scouts are evil and know how to exploit people's desire for cookies to make money.
4) This girl scout puts a lot of effort into this and nobody listens, leaving her upset that she couldn't make a difference.
Now that this information has been stated, if I replace "predicts" with "causes" in the title it seems far more likely, no?
Next time you buy a box of cookies, remember, you are funding the most powerful organisation imaginable, even Al-Qaeda (spelling?) fears them, the cookies are also probably mind control cookies! If you want to live cover your homes in foil, wear a foil hat and foil shoes. Good Luck! - djm19, on 04/03/2009, -1/+26Cañada means ravine in spanish.
- gqbriggs, on 04/03/2009, -1/+26Malia's onion delights: they are to not die for.
- likwidfuzion, on 04/03/2009, -3/+27As long as they keep selling Thin Mints, all good.
- kinseyincanada, on 04/03/2009, -6/+28whao theres a town called La Canada?
- boydrew, on 04/03/2009, -1/+23given time most rational predictions come true. especially in saying "someone is going to have an accident in an area where accidents have happened before."
- jordanlgta, on 04/03/2009, -1/+22http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6i2WRreARo
- mywhitenoise, on 04/03/2009, -2/+22haha! That's the best comment so far!
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -1/+20Save the girl scout, save the world...
- guardgurl, on 04/03/2009, -8/+26She didn't predict it, she jinxed it
- ktaisia, on 04/03/2009, -0/+18not to mention lots of coffee and empty headed know nothings to do the feasibility study (around the table) before sending off to cabinet and then reviewed for another 5 years.
- johnnybroken, on 04/03/2009, -0/+17pronounced La Can-yada
- jordanlgta, on 04/03/2009, -4/+19People are far less likely to listen and be influenced by others today than they were years ago. I've seen this at least once a week from personal experience. So many people are continuing to gain the feeling that their judgment is better than the judgment of others...it is the kind of society we are becoming in the USA. It's ridiculous.
- trer, on 04/03/2009, -1/+15She didn't find treasure, so I doubt it.
- nepidae, on 04/03/2009, -0/+14Even less reason for her to be ignored then.
- phxsuns32, on 04/03/2009, -1/+14How'd it get burned! How'd it get burned!
- aspec, on 04/03/2009, -1/+14Now that someone died, that's what's going to happen. And then they'll conclude that all they need is a yield sign.
- dygel, on 04/03/2009, -0/+13smemily is correct.
In fact, the article mentions that the research she did was for her Gold Award, which is the Girl Scout equivalent to the Boy Scouts' Eagle Award. - mksmothers, on 04/03/2009, -0/+13In other news, Girl scout cookies found at the scene.
- eled, on 04/03/2009, -0/+12Well, she has learned her first lesson in politics. She failed to show the city council the
"whats in it for them" part of the presentation - sockpuppets, on 04/03/2009, -1/+13I hope you used a decent amount of duct tape. I learned that one the hard way.
- gameuhnator, on 04/04/2009, -0/+12And now you're a registered sex offender, right?
- Fabbyfubz, on 04/03/2009, -4/+16"Then on Wednesday, a big rig lost control on the road, barreled through an intersection and smashed into a bookstore, killing two people and injuring 12 others."
THAT'LL TEACH EM FOR READING! - sockpuppets, on 04/03/2009, -1/+12I hope there's an onion on that yield sign. A really angry one.
- mywhitenoise, on 04/03/2009, -3/+14Samoas, motha *****!
- smemily, on 04/03/2009, -1/+11They have higher ranks just like the Boy Scouts (Eagle Scouts) do.
- FredFredrickson, on 04/03/2009, -5/+15Pardon me for being cynical, but predicting that a big rig is going to crash on a highway is like predicting that the sun is going to rise the next day. All you have to do is wait, and sooner or later you'll be proven right.
- bonk2k, on 04/04/2009, -2/+11Yeah, it's french for "the Canada"
- ehalasey, on 04/04/2009, -0/+9I can't believe you people haven't heard of La Cañada. It's where JPL is. Aren't there any _real_ nerds here anymore?
- zephc, on 04/03/2009, -0/+9Not as retarded as that city council that ignored her.
- scamper22, on 04/03/2009, -0/+9pedobear makes exception for heroes.
- RyeBrye, on 04/03/2009, -3/+12and her warning the city (and their ignoring the warning) will probably pave the way for a multi-million dollar lawsuit.
- ty91011, on 04/03/2009, -1/+10Actually, this has happened before. The intersection is a T-intersection at the bottom of a hill. The cafe located at the T-junction was hit a couple years back. Thankfully it hit the side of the establishment. The book store is just 3 stores to the left of it. It's sad that this could have been prevented.
- inactive, on 04/03/2009, -2/+11The easiest and cheapest thing to do for the city is burn her with fire .... then they dont have to fix no stinking roAds
- uclaith, on 04/04/2009, -0/+9um, try pasadena
