What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I am glad I was not in that car! I do wonder what the lion was thinking when it opened the door though.

We always joke about having our pets learn to open their own containers of food....Maybe this one just wanted the toy suprise?
Great seed!

'Trick or Treat?'
Good thing they weren't driving a Smartcar.

They might actually be less likely to have the lion open the door of the Smart Car. If I remember correctly the Smart Car's door handles are a different design, one which large carnivorous beasties can't get their teeth around as easily.
Would this be the trick or the treat?

yea but then again a smart car falls apart when hit by anything other than a strong breeze there is a video somewhere of a full size car hitting one and it knocks the front end into the back seat

You test...we'll watch...from larger cars that have the doors locked...with cameras of course.
Would this be the trick or the treat?
If the test goes bad...it would be the snack.
...knocks the front end into the back seat...
Smart vs Mercedes- video, but I don't think a lion was driving.

Wasn't the article with its pictures incredible enough?
Some of you seemed to enjoy embellishing the story with even more unbelievable details! (laughs)
