> > Ooh, nice metaphor. Cannnon... Anyway, I completely agree with ya, Howard. Seems like a car would be even more dangerous than a bike. It's a multiple-ton metal tim can which can crush in upon you. Did you know, if you are speeding at 50 miles per hour, a crash at that speed is the same as if you dropped your car off a 50 story building, or some such? Wow.

I am an idiot. That's not true at all. Stories are not added for every foot, as I previously indicated, but for every TEN feet. So, if you were speeding at 50 miles per hour, and were to hit something, it would only compare to dropping your car off of a 5-story building.

The point is, it would still hurt a lot.

So, if you wanted the equivalent of being dropped off a 50-story building, you'd have to be speeding at 500 mph, rather than just 50.
