I'm told that the text was "on my way"

Werner Herzong makes a movie about texting and driving.

"From One Second to the Next"...came together when AT&T approached the legendary German filmmaker Werner Herzog and asked if he would direct a series of short films warning people about the dangers of texting while driving.

"What AT&T proposed immediately clicked and connected inside of me," Herzog told the AP. "There's a completely new culture out there. I'm not a participant of texting and driving—or texting at all—but I see there's something going on in civilization which is coming with great vehemence at us."

Can a penguin go insane? Can a texting motorist?

Seriously, though, "Herzong" is a surprisingly euphonious word.
