Are You Smarter Than....?

This was inspired by some recent events. Feel free to give your examples.

>Are you smarter than a Paint Stripe? (As the car in front of me passes on a solid yellow line around a blind corner)

>Are you smarter than a Red Traffic Signal? (As a cyclist runs a red light and narrowly misses being a semi's grill ornament)

My initial thought too. Then I realized the pain stripe on the pavement was smarter than the person behind the wheel. Soon, probably they both would be just as alive.
