Drug addled driver makes mess of farmer's field
A driver allegedly zonked on cocaine tried to elude police by driving through a cornfield. The moron ruined the farmer's crop, as seen in this photo. Link (Thanks, Joel!)

The image of the cornfield destroyed by a driver on cocaine trying to evade police reminds me of experiments conducted by Ulrike Heberlein at UCSF wherein fruit flies were exposed to cocaine vapors and their paths in a glass box were traced. The resulting images show clearly how stoned out of their little minds these flies got.Specifically this image:
And this caption: Computer-generated traces of the locomotor behavior of a group of five flies exposed to volatilized free-base cocaine. Each panel corresponds to a 1-min period starting 2 min after the end of the cocaine exposure. (a) Mock exposure; (b) exposure to 100 µg of cocaine; (c) exposure to 200 µg of cocaine.
