The Friday Real-o-Meter

Well, the first installment was an unmitigated SMASH HIT with well over 3 responses. It's unanimous that Alanis rates a big fat 3. Some Quotes such as: "Jagged Little Pill was a great album" and "I'm subtracting points for the second album because very few of the songs on it actually resemble music." seem to form the consensus. The jury is still out on Alanis Morrisette, which doesn't really help me in my own mind. I picked her first for the very reason that I cannot decide if she is real or not. She is teetering on skinny ledge between being a real artist and being a twirly, whiny, horse-faced parody of herself.

and now, I present you with this week's victim.

Last week, I posted about a motorcycle wreck I saw in my neighborhood. As a daily rider myself, I was anxious to know the details. Amazingly, the injured rider saw the post on the news group and wrote back with an update. He was broadsided while making a left turn in front of an SUV, he's been found at fault and is mending a broken leg. However, I wanted to share his words.

As I was wheeled into the emergency room on strecher, the first doctor to greet me asked if I would ride again after this accident. After promply responding "of course", he said he was taking a survey and out of approximately 50 motorcycle accident injury victims, not a single person has answered "no" to him yet.

I don't find this hard to believe in the slightest.
