I still suspect Dave, shorty and maybe TC are big fat guys. I was unaware of seat belt extenders existence until shorty brought it to my attention. The brain findings would explain their posts..

Obese people had lost brain tissue in the frontal and temporal lobes, areas of the brain critical for planning and memory, and in the anterior cingulate gyrus (attention and executive functions), hippocampus (long-term memory) and basal ganglia (movement), the researchers said in a statement today. Overweight people showed brain loss in the basal ganglia, the corona radiata, white matter comprised of axons, and the parietal lobe (sensory lobe). "The brains of obese people looked 16 years older than the brains of those who were lean, and in overweight people looked 8 years older," Thompson said. Wow! I wonder what the cause of that is. I guess when you're feeding your stomach you're not feeding your brain.
