    Many people tell this joke, but unfortuantely most people have no idea where it came from.

    Death Race 2000 (1975) was a movie where killing people with your car was a national sport. You got different points for the different ages, races, etc.

    Most metropolitan areas have the DVD in one of the multiple video stores, and it's an interesting movie... especially with Sly Stallone getting second billing to David Carradine. Learn your history, the fun way. Next week: Q-Tips!
