Item in the newspaper today:

Italy recently passed a mandatory helmet law for motorcyclists.
The law was spawned by the fact that of Italy's first eight heart
transplants, six of the donors were motorcyclists without
helmets.  (Maybe edg@micropro will post the whole item.)

I won't tell you to wear a helmet (unless you're on my range
taking my course).  But if you don't, PLEASE sign the donor card
on the back of your license.  Thank you!
