So I finally watched the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It was nice and informative and a rather well presented argument on how mass social behaviors tend to violate arbitrary limitations based on profit driven logic instead of research. But this plot of the Solomon Curve, with the bestest labels ever, was too awesome not to reshare.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Ha! Same here. As soon as I saw that graph, I thought to myself that I should screenshot it and post in the comments. However, I am functionally retarded when it comes to computers, so I don't have the first clue how to do that...

Oh, and I cheated. The picture above is actually a screengrab from my iPhone while watching the video. =)

Interesting that this comes up the day I drive the famed Autobahn with my 82 year old grandfather riding shotgun in a B180 CDI.

There's something to be said for a flotilla of three hatchbacks storming up the A48 to Koblenz at 115-120MPH (The quoted top speed of a B180 CDI is 190km/h. I'm sure I got that).

Oh, and then there's the A555.

I just watched the video for the first time actually and after watching this I really hope that the green party here in Austria doesn't get any votes. They want 80kph limits on every road that has now a limit of 100, like that would actually lower death rates.....
