Two Big Name Crashes

Actor Jim Caviezel, best known as playing Jesus Christ in the Mel Gibson picture, was in the weirdest motorcycle accident.

He was going down a street in Washington when a man threw a bicycle into his path. This caused him to be thrown off his Harley and into the asphault.

He was wearing a helmet and only got cuts and bruises.

I think he was more damanged during the movie where he played Jesus. No, not from cuts and bruises being nailed to a cross, but being struck by lightening. I remember at the time thinking if ever there was a sign from God, that was surely it.

They speculate the person that threw the bike had mental problems, and it was just a random act of craziness.

A crazier scene occured when the person driving the 23-foot long pink hot dog known as the Wienermobile, crashed it threw a persons house.

The guy that is renting the home with his mom, told authorities that the home wasn't insured at the time and was in the process of having a new policy put in place.

Of course, the Kraft Corporation is saying they'll take care of everything. No word on what they'll do to the driver (who accidentally pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake).

I remember when I was producing a radio show, they contacted me asking if I wanted that vehicle to come by our station, with our morning show interviewing someone from the company. I declined.

The funniest quote about this accident came from an 11-year-old, who saw the wienermobile drive into the cul-de-sac, and ran after it with money, thinking he'd be able to buy a hotdog.

Imagine his surprise...or better yet...the people inside the house, when this big, fiberglass frankfurter of terror, came barging threw the living room.

Dang...there's gotta be a Madonna joke in there somewhere. But I'm running late for the Stan Ridgway concert.

Here's something you might be interested in.
