The fellow who drove his SUV into the Muni tunnel may have an admirer.
From the Chronicle:

A woman suffered minor injuries early Friday when she drove a Lexus
into the water at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, authorities said.

Firefighters arrived around 6:30 a.m. and found the woman sitting in
the partially submerged 1993 ES 300 near Lincoln Way. Rescuers waded
into the water and pulled the woman out.

The middle-aged woman, whose name has not been released, used a ramp
near Lincoln Way to get onto the beach and managed to drive across 350
feet of sand before coming to a stop in the surf, said fire Capt.
Jeanne Seyler.

One really has to wonder whether medical life-saving procedures have created
a class of sub-humans. Some months back, a woman was conversing on her cell
phone while driving on one of those roads along the Delta where rain had
flooded some of the roadways. She was on her phone and was talking with a
family member about driving across the river when she quite plainly drove
into the river up to her roof. Her last words were something to the effect
of, "Well, the water is over my lap now, and is getting up toward my
chest..." According to the news report she was very calmly talking about
the water about to engulf her. She died in that mishap.

I don't quite understand it. Are people really really really this stupid or
do they think they're watching video games or TV and that everything is
going to come out all right?

Probably a suicide attempt. You think it's funny?

Call it appreciation of the theater of the absurd. Kind of like trying to
stab yourself to death with a Snickers bar.
