The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had "covertly" funded a project with the U.S. automakers for the past 5 years.

The automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in 4-wheel drive pickup trucks and SUV's in an effort to determine in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 38 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh crap!"

Only the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and West Virginia were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were:

"Hold my beer, I'm gonn'a try somethin."
