in iowa, the pigs are squealing extra loud this year.

DesMoinesRegister.com: "There's a legislator who wants to outlaw those snazzy hubcaps that keep spinning even after the car stops. One reason given - and the bill's sponsor doesn't seem to be kidding - is to keep somebody from rear-ending the driver with the spinning hubcaps. This is apparently because the legislator thinks the trailing car's driver will see the hubcaps spinning and think that vehicle is still moving. How a driver can see another car's hubcaps from behind is a mystery, but the Iowa Legislature can be a very mysterious place."
