Well I can only disappoint after that title, but here goes.

It turns out that Swedish twins are in fact not only useful for making cheesy 70s porn films - apprently they are indestructible as well.

Watch as they saunter down a busy motorway before being hit by cars and trucks - twice! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7636577.stm).

This seems to have everyone confused but I find it perfectly understandable - if I was impervious to harm I'd probably give evryone a fright by walking along motorways as well.

So how did they become immune to traffic accidents? Do Volvo drivers mow down pedestrians in the streets of Stockholm every day in order to create a genetic resistance to accidents that would kill the average British traffic dodging loony?

Only one possible explanation: Valkyries.

Too many ways to go with this.... blonde joke or genetically superior joke?

See, this is why I stopped teaching crazy swedish girls judo.

At least, I tell people I stopped. ;)

One day in prison for assault? Did she chalk it up to a head injury when she got hit by the car?

I remember when I visited London, it took me a while to get used to the drivers on the left side of the road custom, but I think I would have remembered it pretty well by the second time I was hit.

A day in gaol? What kind of crappy sentence is that?

The sentence was actually two months. A day is how long it took her to break through the concrete walls.

Well, she was injured. Probably slowed her escape down a bit. *nod*

I'm going to guess they were off whatever medication they were supposed to be on.

Yeah, or just been through a seriously traumatic experience themselves, I'm sure there's more to this story.

Quite incredible though.

Viking blood, obviously.

That's incredible.

These two women seem to be of the opinion that there are too many laws about road safety encumbering their individual freedoms. Can we draw a line saying that some laws are necessary and trump individual freedom simply to stop idiots from harming other people?

Laws won't help those two Rambhutan. They clearly planned to kill themselves.

That's the only logical interpretation. No amount of stupidity can explain running across a busy motorway.

Is there another source that explains their motives? Something linking this to Libertarians and not just total loons? I'm not saying that I don't believe that it would be the reason, I'm just not sure where the connection is from the source given.

If you look very, very closely you can see the Bob Barr pins they are wearing....

Oops didn't see this before starting my own thread about them.

No, I think that this is pretty clearly because Sweden doesn't have roads. No use for them if everyone gets around by longboat, tbqh.

Which explains how they managed to get hit by a couple cars and still try to escape - they are Valkyries.

A couple of mashed swedes...anybody got a haggis and some tatties handy?

Could do with some of that right now, yo tengo el hángover más fina -_-

There's a "See Also: Boy being hit by a bus!".

When did the bbc become the vehicular snuff channel?

its a lead up to a cheesy Swedish emergency room porno

Shit..

ok, the first hit was more of a clip than a hit.

but the others... damn...

they build them sturdy up in Switzerland ja?

These people are obviously deranged...driving around in metal boxes running Swedish twins over...

I'm sure there's a pron flick in this...

Rule 34, indeed.

What are the Darwin awards?

I found a video with better audio on the Sun website. They're either both having a psychotic break or took some interesting drugs.

With (I'm surprised this didn't come up before) Fass, no doubt?

Or it could be the start of another Species flick.

I hit a deer yesterday that was going across the state highway, it got to the side, stopped, turned around, and ran right into me.

I stand corrected!

Now this is a rather absurd case of an unsuccessful suicide attempt. I just don't understand why those twins weren't simply killed by the traffic, one would assume that they're only human, after all.

Assume being the keyword there.

That's incredible.Further proof that my pure Viking blood makes me your better.:p

And more suicidal, apparently.

enjoy! :D

well, deer didn't know any better, so it assumed you (in your car) was attacking it and thus defended itself.

those blondes however... uhmmm...


nevermind. :$ :p

Maybe they're superhuman clones grown in vats, like these two. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1TRXOPL_vU)

Berserker babes!

This isn't the only news report about them either

Apparently the red coated one is charged with murder now!

LOL

I know it's the translation but...
First she played with death along with his twin sister middle of the highway.
the injuries sustained at the M6 was more extensive than first thought! :p

That reminds me... we were driving for 10 minutes after a rabbit the other day. The rabbit didn't run into the hedges on either side of the road, or through any of the 3 cow gates we passed, it kept running right down the road. Even kept on it in the bends. Occasionally it would stop, and when the car came nearer it ran off again.
Dumbest rabbit ever.

either you were driving reeeeeeaaaaaaallllllly slow... or that was one speedy rabbit!

either way, the rabbit was probably El-Ahrairah pretending to be a Hurududu.

We were driving reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaally slow... it drove my BF nuts.
On those Irish country lanes you can't really drive fast anyway, they're too narrow and bendy and full of potholes and the occasional sheep. But you usually don't have to go quite as slow as we did driving behind that rabbit.

Do you think that when rabbits read too many comics, they think they're El-Ahrairah and can run as fast as a Hrududu, rather than thinking they're Superman and can fly?

I'm thinking along the lines of pretending to be a Hurududu to fool the fox on it's butt. your driving behind (and not over it) probably added to the illusion. :D

Nah, I don't think that rabbit was quite that clever.
I think possibly it was waiting for its twin to come join it... a suicide attempt after it had stabbed some guy in Stoke a while back ;)
