    Nope, I actually read that one in a book, and was taught that info during my orientation at FFE before I came to Maverick.

    This is the one I guesstimated:

    - That in a collision involving a semi and a passenger car where the speed of impact is 60 mph or higher, there is a 78% chance that the remaining pieces of the passenger car will not be any larger than a basketball (that's including the driver and passengers).

    I based this off of a number of dash cam videos I have seen involving this type of crash. 3/4 of the videos I saw resulted in the car and its occupants ending up in pieces. Small pieces. And the only reason the thing says 78% is because I mistyped the 75 and had already posted it by the time I discovered the mistake :)

    Lol I don't know any statistics regarding animals on the highway or you and jxu's apparently insane family, but I can tell you one thing.

    You don't look hot because you're moving at 65 mph. You look hot because you're the only woman we've seen in 10 days. It's kinda like when a guy gets out of prison.... You know how the saying goes :)

    The disk on their Web server is full. Either someone wasn't paying attention, or some process broke and logged errors until it filled the disk.

    The portal is working. http://www.maverickusa.com/Portal/
