5 ways our brains trick us

[Torque]

There's an intersection made up of a divided highway crossed by a fairly busy road near me. The lights stopped working one day (they were all solid red) and it was chaos. Smashed cars and broken glass everywhere. An idiot in a pick up truck even smashed into a firetruck that was there. Yeah, that parked, crome-covered, hulk of a vehicle with flashing lights came out of nowhere! Common sense is dead.
