THIS story brings a warm glow to my heart. God is calling certain Germans home . . . or perhaps to eternal hellfire! Only He knows for sure.
Driver Follows Navigation System, Crashes

BERLIN (Jan. 16) - A 46-year-old German motorist driving along a busy road suddenly veered to the left and ended up stuck on a railway track -- because his satellite navigation system told him to, police said Sunday.
The motorist was heading into the north German city of Bremen "when the friendly voice from his satnav told him to turn left," a spokesman said. "The odd thing is, he says it wasn't even turned on."
The man did what the voice ordered him to do and turned his Audi left up over the curb and onto the track of a local streetcar line. He tried to back up off the track but got completely stuck, in the path of an oncoming tram.
The police spokesman said about a dozen trams were held up until a tow truck arrived to clear the car off the track.
Several German motorists have crashed their cars in recent months, the survivors telling police they were only obeying orders from their satnavs to turn directly in front of trains, trams, or other hazards.
