From now until Oct. 14th police across Canada will be looking for drivers who don‘t buckle up during their ‘Operation Impact‘ campaign. Ontario has made a commitment to reach the national goal of 95 per cent compliance for seat belts and child restraints by next year. Currently 84 per cent of Ontario drivers use these devices. Consider these facts: â€"In a collision, an unbelted driver is 17 times more likely to be killed and five times more likely to be hospitalized than a belted driver. â€"Unbelted passengers are 10 times more likely to be killed and four times more likely to be hospitalized than belted passengers. â€"A child who is restrained correctly is seven times more likely to escape death or major injury than an unrestrained child. â€"Two thirds of small children are mot restrained correctly in child safety seats according to a Ministry of Transportation survey taken in 1991.

Actually, it was George‘s fault â€" he had mailed his extracted teeth to a dentist for use as a model for his denâ€" tures. The dentist hung onto the originals for souvenirs. He used to take them with him to parties as a conversation piece. They‘re still out there somewhere, so if you‘re at a soiree and someâ€" body offers to show you George Washington‘s molars...don‘t be afraid to bite. Nothing as trivial as teeth or fingers for Jeremy Bentham. The English philosopher who You could check it out with Galileo if he was still around. The celebrated astronomer shuffled off his mortal coil back in 1642, but his finger is still with us.

They, subsequently, paid the price. Write down those final requests or you might end up like ‘Speedy‘ His real name was Henry Atkins. He was a black laborer in a tobacco factory in Paducah, Kentucky, back in the 1920‘s. In 1928, while fishing on the Ohio River, Henry fell out of his boat and was drowned. He was poor, with no next of kin and no real friends. Not yet anyway. Speedy‘s corpse was about to And then there‘s Speedy. Few deceased persons have spent as long between the morâ€" tician‘s slab and the grave as good old Speedy. died in 1832, left all his money to the London Hospital. With one small catch. Bentham insisted that his body be dissected and the remains "mummified". What‘s more, he directed that his preâ€" served corpse was to be arranged sitting in an armchair at the Board of Directors‘ table in the London Hospital in perâ€" petuity. To paraphrase Gertrude Stein â€" a bequest is a bequest is a bequest. For the next 92 years, members of the London Hospital board got to share space at the table with the desâ€" iccated carcass of Jeremy Bentham smiling over them. Mind you, to avoid any conâ€" fusion, they placed a sign in front of Jeremy. The sign read NOT VOTING. Museums and carnivals send agents to try and buy Speedy. They offered lots of money, but the Hamocks turned them down. Speedy was family. Finally this summer, the descendants of A.Z. Hamock decided it was high time to treat Henry Atkins like a real memâ€" ber of the family. They laid him out in a black tuxedo and showâ€" ered a blanket of red carnations on his coffin. The church choir sang a half dozen spirituals to Speedy and the minister at the local Baptist church gave him a rousing sendâ€"off sermon. Sixtyâ€"six years after he tumâ€" bled out of a boat in the Ohio River, Henry Speedy Atkins finally went to his grave. Over the next 66 years, Speedy â€" an itinerant laborer â€" became probably the most famous citizen Paducah, Kentucky ever spawned. The Hamock family adopted him. Three times a year, he was careâ€" fully washed and dressed in fresh clothes. Sightseers could come to the funeral home and see Speedy, free of charge.
