One Man Getting Hit by a Bus Is Another Man's Frogger


At the University of Texas "every Friday before finals there's a thing called 'Foam Sword Friday,'" writes Austin H., a computer sciences major at the university. Students go to the university district's main drag, cross the street during a red light, and then battle it out with foam swords.
This Friday, a freshman named Nick strode forth into the maw of disaster and was hit by a purple bus, which you can see in that video above at the 0:28 mark. Fortunately, the bus was not injured. As for Nick, he came out with "just a scratch and bruise," says Austin.
To pay tribute to the bus's sacrifice (and Nick's), Austin created "Nick vs. Bus", a Frogger variant you can play now—it's also playable on mobile devices. In it, your "Nick" is invulnerable to purple buses, as he was struck by a purple bus and emerged unharmed. You have 15 seconds to cross the street each time. Enjoy!

  1. New Leaf Review: Currently, many cases of different diseases are known each year and are believed to be on the rise. Many of these diseases are hereditary and many others develop due to the bad life habits that the person acquires and that over time, becomes a disease. On the other hand, those who already have sick family members prefer to avoid a certain lifestyle and start taking care of themselves early.
