I stumbled on to an interesting tidbit of information today.  Mariska Hagatay, who plays Olivia Benson on the show 'Law And Order SVU', was in the car when her mother (Jayne Mansfield) was killed when she rear ended a semi truck.  This triggered action by the NTSB.  Since then, 1967, semi trailers were required to put re-enforced steel bumpers on the back of the trailers to help prevent cars from going under the trailer. Thus, preventing serious injury or death from decapitation.  It is now called the 'Mansfield Bar'.

I had a little practice in the art of persuasion just now.  I asked Mama, how about something different?

There was one catch, she had to go get it.
