>I just had another close call at lunch today. I was traveling in the right-hand turn lane nearing an intersection (the road has 4 lanes northbound at this point, 1 left turn only, 2 straight, and 1 right-turn only lane). There was a lady speaking on her cell phone directly beside me in the lane that continues straight. When I got to the intersection and was nearly at the point of turning right, she decided to turn right from her lane as though I wasn't there. We were so close that I could see her face. She looked at me like I was in the wrong place and in her way. Sheesh! Too many of these close calls with cell phone users these days. I'm not sure she ever realized that she was in the wrong lane and attempting to cross traffic to turn right! Time to turn them OFF!

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man was in critical condition after setting himself on fire Wednesday in a courtroom where he was sentenced to a $300 fine for disturbing the peace, a court official and an emergency room physician said.

The district court in Uijongbu north of Seoul had just upheld a fine he received in 2004 for causing a disturbance at a mobile phone sales outlet where he was demanding a new phone number.
