Unreal.
They've done that here in Chicago - any bike lane where there is a high chance of collision was painted green. There were a lot of studies. I'd cite them, but I'm sure you know how to Google, too.

Today in Bad Ideas for Author Bios.
@9 Paul Constant: actually he doesn't wear the costume all the time. I laughed when you posted that, because I knew of author 1 from reading Danny Choo's blog (
http://dannychoo.com) about Japan and Japanese culture, and he's been pictured on there a number of times, not in costume.
So, my two cents.

Your Daily Quiz.
Joey Ramone. David Foster Wallace.
My mom found me sitting in front of the computer, sobbing, the Easter Sunday that Joey Ramone died. A huge part of my childhood gone. I'd been a fan since I was 8 years old and saw Rock N Roll High School on cable in 1980.
David Foster Wallace because I was so sad that his depression proved untreatable, and that he lived with so much pain. I was sad for him, and for his family. We lost a lot with his death.

Not Helping.
I love how will in seattle has become the new troll. He is the new douchewaffle around here. I wonder what he does when he isn't pissing people off.

Not a Jest.
I'm in. There are a group of us (ie - people I actually know in real life) doing it, and I think peer pressure will get me through it this time.
I feel like a shitty bookseller for never having finished reading it.

Credit Card Issuers are Vile Pigs.
I have no credit cards. I am so glad of this.
THAT SAID - another way merchants are fucked is that they have to pay per transaction, and if it is a tiny one, they still have to pay. And generally, the CC companies won't let merchants charge a minimum.
Bullshit.
