Jeez, this week is just going from bad to worse...

Can this week possibly get any worse? |

| Actually they make alot more. I'm not sure but I think Schumi is pulling down about 45 million a year. Formula 1 is actually bigger then MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL combined. |

Hmmm, still, I'm not sure I would do something like that, despite the large amount of "danger money"...
I know accidents like this are rare and all that but it goes without saying there's a risk with jobs/activities like that. |
