Exactly, so I was only toying with one of my Possibilites of Death. I like to pick a different one every week, that why I'll be surprised when I go. :D

Kate, you have it all wrong. Speed has never killed anyone and probably never will.

It's rapid decelleration in close proximity to stationary objects that is really worrysome...

Ok ok, true, but my point was that speeding isn't the ONLY stupid thing one can do to end up in an accident.....

The worst thing about going too fast is causing an accident that causes someone to get killed or seriously injured. I once rear ended this old guy who had to be taken away in the ambulance with an oxygen mask on his face. I do not know what ever became of this guy as to whether he was seriously injured or the exact severity of his condition but the police department would not tell me. And I apologized to the police officer investigating the accident and I asked him to apologize to the old man for me but no amount of apologies can undo the damage done. So even if you run over some kid putting the trash out on the curb or someone's dog who rant out in the middle of a quiet street, you will never be able to apologize enough.

True, and I can't agree more, and my dear friend Brendan will be hearing from me on this however....
it's not just speeding WAY over the limit that kills people. I'm an EMT/FF and recently in my town we had a fatal crash on the highway. The two vehicles involved we're going much faster than the average person going 5-10 over. The cause?? One of the drivers was merging and didn't check their blind spot. The other vehicle was forced off the road and hit a tree. The front of her vehicle was crushed in so far that she was crushed into her seat. When we arrived on scene we initially listed her as status 1 (requires immediate transport)however, after some further investigation we realized she was nearly gone already and if we moved the shrapnel that had basically disemboweled her, it wouldn't do her any good. They weren't going any faster than the usual speeds for highway. I'm not saying that you guys are that numb, just remember, some people are and it's not just speed that kills.

Kate

P.S. Bee, don't ever let me catch you doing crap like this ever again... you scare the shit out of me......you're not allowed to get your self killed.

They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese?

No, man, they got the metric system, they don't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is.

What do they call it?

They call it a Royal with Cheese.

lol...I just watched that movie like 2 nights ago.

Moderators should require this quiz before approving registrations:

#4 should be thrown out though, it makes zero sense.

That is one of my major pet peeves in written text amongst many others:

Your and You're

There and They're

Its and It's

To, two, and too

Using apostrophe s to indicate something plural (i.e. car's)

AHAHAHAHA!!! Here in Chile it's called "Cuarto de libra" which is a quarter pounder, but nobody knows what a pound is, much less what ends after dividing it by four... :D

And YES 130 IS utterly stupid, specially if it was in my car.

(Like it could)....

[Fidhle007]

A very good movie too.

On the speeding note, my little escapade earlier seems to have worked wonders. I came home and wrote my friend an email laying out my exact thoughts on our disagreement and when driving later I found myself doing no more than 5 mph over, a far cry from my average 10 - 15.

Perhaps I needed a moment of pure, reckless insanity to return me to a level and functional state. I must a carmo, like emo, only involving stupid shit with cars rather than bad music and self mutilation...

Wait, I don't totally get it. Mariano, who is Bret?

niggah u serial??? Its from a well-known movie.

Or when to actually use the extra s and when to just use an apostrophe to denote posession in a word that ends in s. I love that one.

Right! I forgot about that one.. but what I find funny is how I hear ignorant folk say "breast-tis-sis" when they are trying to say "breasts".

[kommissar]

Dude, I just want to say, thank you soo much for using the proper form of "you're".

Fuck yes, and you're welcome. People need to learn. Seriously, how hard is it to learn a few homonyms and basic grammar rules you should learn before 5th grade? I mean, it's after 4:30 AM here in Germany, I just got back from drinking on the Reeperbahn, and I can still spell homonyms correctly.

Look at the big brains on Breeeeeet!! hahaa
