Jesus, 82wpm is only 5th place? I *thought* I was a fast typer.
fellyconnelly - 04/26/08 08:01
62 wpm on my first try! wooo!
tinypliny - 04/25/08 19:51
My average is 41 wpm. Pretty slow, considering the top racers on there apparently type at supersonic speeds. What do they have that I don't - practice? hypermobile phalanges? Or a committed memory of lines from Guy Richie's movies?
metalpeter - 04/25/08 18:39
I played two games and sucked mainly because of typos, oh well maybe I'll play some more.
james - 04/25/08 15:21
I played three games and they were all from David Cronnenburg films. It makes me want to cut my wrists.
jim - 04/25/08 15:14

Oops
3rd Most Least Drunk City



image
paul - 03/17/08 22:06
Ya some of them are rate based. i.e. rate of alcohol based liver related illness and other ones are simply number based- e.g. number of dui's etc. We have less people and I think are police are not very hardcore about drunk driving so maybe thats the reason we scored so low.
libertad - 03/17/08 21:45
Interestingly, Rochester is rated drunker than Buffalo and Rochester stops serving at 2am as compared to Buffalo's 4am.
james - 03/17/08 21:26
In your defense Jim, that stat is completely counter-intuitive.
jim - 03/17/08 19:30
Turns out I got this backwards, 3rd least drunk. Damn.
jenks - 03/17/08 18:46
I must say that surprises me.

I like that the ten cities with the most anti-drinking laws are ALL in CA.
paul - 03/17/08 18:22
(e:james) is right, I got confused to rank 3 is the least. If you click on the least dangerously drunk cities on that page - not the highest. A overall rank of 100 is the top city and we are overall rank 3.
jenks - 03/17/08 16:12
in the country, or the state?
james - 03/17/08 14:39
We are the third least drunk city according to that site.

Commute
It took 90 minutes to drive to work, due to this terrible accident.

A car fell off the 198 onto the 33.

My morning is all screwed up, but not as bad as that guy's. Yikes.
ladycroft - 03/17/08 16:43
i think it had to be a blue turtle shell james. you can cheat the red one if you time a little hop just right ;)
jenks - 03/17/08 16:36
whoa. i must be retarded. I don't see anything but the underpass... or is that a disembodied tire in the middle there?

i heard everyone is alive, so far.
fing - 03/17/08 12:56
I must say that is the best rubber necking picture taking I have ever seen.
joshua - 03/17/08 12:43
Wow - for a camera phone picture on the fly that isn't bad!

What a crazy crash. We do have some of the worst drivers in the country around here... its something I'm embarrassed to admit. Still though, I hope that whoever was in that car survived - I'm not sure I've seen anything like that!
mrdeadlier - 03/17/08 12:38
Good job snagging a photo. As I drove past it today it was kinda hard to believe what I was seeing.
drew - 03/17/08 11:59
The red shell is deadly. It's better to drop into second place if someone has that shell.

Hopefully, (e:janelle) will not see this post. We do not need to add a fear of driving under bridges or stoke her under-control fear of driving over them.
paul - 03/17/08 10:39
Wow, thats insane - imagine if it fell on your car.
james - 03/17/08 10:34
I blame the car behind him who launched the red turtle shell. You can't escape the red one.

Great pictures. When I'm done with my pictures I'll check out the slide show.
jim - 03/16/08 21:42
I made a new (e:strip) banner to commemorate today: :::link:::

Paul, put that up ASAP :)
zobar - 03/16/08 21:37
Wow, that's me! Not looking like a drunk asshole. Is there a Photoshop filter for that?

Thats a great picture of (e:zobar) - they are all great pics. I love the beer cans in the tree and the girl in the air. St Patrick's day is the craziest public event of the whole year. It's amazing to see how drunk the general public can get in the street.
