I have a very similar story to the bit about the injured woman on the highway
and cars not stopping to help her, but just swerving to miss her. My friend's
mom, an older lady, takes walks to the near by mall and walks back home every
Saturday. She is getting very old, and one Saturday (a few months back) attempting
to step over on to a sidewalk, she tripped and fell face down. She broke her
nose, was bleeding, she couldn't get herself up because she has a bum-arm.
She lay there in the street for a good 30 minutes or more, with people driving
by and not stopping to help her. Finally some car stopped and the person came
to her aid. I forget if the good samaritan was a woman or a man though. So,
yes, this does happen. People no longer seem to care.

btw... a much better story on that site is 5 Mental Disorders That Can Get You Laid (http://www.cracked.com/article_15650_5-mental-disorders-that-can-totally-get-you-laid.html) ;)
