Ive never heard it either and Im a big Trek fan so Im wondering if its true. It IS on the internet :)...besides what kind of co-pilot leaves the cockpit in an emergency when the pilot is attempting an emergency landing with the plane on fire to sit with a passenger and talk?

Actually, Roddenberry was a "deadhead" (third pilot), according to Snopes, but it's mostly true.

There is also this from Snopes:
Although The Oatmeal described Roddenberry as the “co-pilot” of the flight, other sources identified Roddenberry as the “third officer without flight responsibilities” or “a deadheading” pilot. Nonetheless, Roddenberry did helm a portion the flight while the captain took a break, and there’s no disputing the fact that he helped 22 people survive the crash of Pan Am Flight 121 in 1947 after an engine fire forced the flight down in a desert and the plane ignited:
So really it's kind of splitting hairs on the co-pilot/deadhead thing. Either way its an amazing story and one I never knew. This gives ol' Gene a major leap on my respect scale.
Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Another bit of trivia... Gene was married at the time. He married during the war 1942. Quoting Wikipedia:
During his time in the LAPD, Roddenberry was known to have had affairs with secretarial staff.[143] Before his work on Star Trek, he began relationships with both Nichelle Nichols and Majel Barrett... Barrett and he had an apartment together by the opening weeks of Star Trek...
The divorce from first wife wasn't final until 1969, and she has half the profits from all Star Trek properties... and had to sue to get her share.

I have video footage from my cheap-ass dash cam of BMW drivers doing the dumbest shit possible. No blinkers, driving up on curbs to avoid lights, the whole "I didn't know the lane ended" crap, etc.

If I'm ruining the joke, sorry, but both those pictures show the car in a lane that can only go in the direction the cars are going. I mean, sure, you can put your turn signal on when in the inside lane of a 2 lane turn lane, but what's the point. You literally can't do anything else unless you break the law to do it.

Umm, doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of drivers go straight in a turn lane to avoid the backup in the "go straight" lane. Also, you are supposed to use your blinkers NO MATTER WHAT if you are turning. At least in NJ, anyway.
NJ Driver's Manual wrote:A motorist should always give a proper signal when turning, changing
lanes, stopping or slowing down. Most vehicles have turn signals and a
motorist should always use them. A motorist should turn on the turn signal at
least 100 feet before turning and be sure to cancel the signal after making a
turn. Not doing so could mislead other motorists. (N.J.S.A. 39:4-126)
These look like non-US drivers, though.

Shrug. People do all sorts of crazy shit. That's on them, not the people turning in a turning lane. If it's the law, then it's kind of a dumb law. It's probably the law in Ontario too. I'm doing the thing that this lane is built for seems redundant.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that there are much more cars on the road in Northern NJ/NYC with a lot more traffic than there is by you. If people were decent and not asshats, I would agree that it is redundant, but I've seen too much stupid crap in my driving career to assume that anyone is going to do anything they are supposed to.

Probably, and we're more spread out, as a lot million or so population are in suburbs, although in this case they all touch the city. Meaning you don't "leave" the city to reach the suburbs, the city just turns into suburbs if you move away from the center far enough. I don't have a clue what that has to do with turning your signal on when you're in a turning lane, but sure.

I was just out and realized I was in the outer lane of a 2 turning lanes, so I looked around. Out of the 15 to 20 vehicles I could see, 3 had their turn signals on. I was one of them, but only because I had to merge into the turn lane from the straight away lane, so I was already signalling, and just left it on.

This seems like a silly thing to argue about, but certainly in the city that I live in, less people use the turn signal in that situation than do. Of course the times I see cars pull up on sidewalks/curbs to get around traffic is pretty much zero, so maybe there are less crappy drivers here? That feels like it can't be true, but it's not Calcutta, so I guess it's probably true.

I turn my turn signals on in the turn late. I turn my turn signals on in parking lots when pulling into a space. I turn my turn signals on every time I plan to stray from the straight and narrow.

It isn't always required.

On the other hand, I generally assume that everybody within eyeshot of me is a moron, and I want to make my intentions as clear to them as possible.

Whenever I see someone behind me that isn't using their turn signal, I start arbitrarily start flipping mine left and right. Don't want to let the world know your intentions? Aint going to let you know mine.

Kind of like when someone gets right up on my ass when we're at a stop light. I put my car in reverse and start backing up.

Turn signals aren't just for other cars. There are often people walking around or riding bikes in more urban areas that would probably benefit from knowing which direction a car is intending to go.

Using turn signals is a pipe dream though. I'd be happy if people driving through my neighborhood obeyed the stop signs instead of rolling through at 10 mph.

I'm confident that pedestrians who see a car in a left hand turn lane understand that the car is turning. If they don't, a blinker isn't going to help.

In these parts a blinker means "I'm moving over NOW, bitches, outta my way." Otherwise tipping off enemy drivers is a sign of weakness. You are not asking permission.

That said, I drive a brand-new, not-yet-dented clown car, so I'm one of those weaklings.
