Lethality=Awesomeness

3:47 PM - CodeMagenta: best decade for cars
3:47 PM - CodeMagenta: go
3:47 PM - Quarrel Marx: Now
3:47 PM - CodeMagenta: oh
3:48 PM - CodeMagenta: well
3:48 PM - Quarrel Marx: Right now
3:48 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: ^
3:48 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: fuck
3:48 PM - Quarrel Marx: Technology only improves
3:48 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: my name is too long
3:48 PM - Quarrel Marx: Yeah the arrow points to nothing
3:48 PM - CodeMagenta: overcompensating?
3:48 PM - Quarrel Marx: Anyway, the best decade for cars is this one. And in ten years it'll be that decade
3:48 PM - Quarrel Marx: And so on and so forth until we perfect the jetpack
3:48 PM - CodeMagenta: now if you have time to look at this graph I suggest you do
3:48 PM - CodeMagenta: http://www.saferoads.org/federal/2004/TrafficFatalities1899-2003.pdf
3:49 PM - CodeMagenta: notice the increase in lethality of car-crashes in the 60's
3:49 PM - CodeMagenta: we all know from reading The Great Gatsby that the 20's was the best time for motor-vehicles
3:49 PM - Quarrel Marx: Because that's when people started owning cars and driving a ton
3:49 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: Cars in the 20s were kinda shit
3:49 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: In fact
3:49 PM - CodeMagenta: the 20's is characterized by a high percentage of deaths in car-crashes
3:49 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: They were really shit
3:49 PM - CodeMagenta: therefore, better cars
3:50 PM - Quarrel Marx: Because cars sucked and no one knew how to work them
3:50 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: Yeah
3:50 PM - Quarrel Marx: And there were no safety features
3:50 PM - Quarrel Marx: Wait, skype lads?
3:50 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: The Model T is not fast
3:50 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: Nor cool
3:50 PM - CodeMagenta: TODAY lethality rates are at an all-time low
3:50 PM - Quarrel Marx: Because cars are safer and driving education is better
3:50 PM - CodeMagenta: the 60's is the only noticable increase in lethality rates
3:50 PM - CharmedAndDangerous: And cars are the fastest they have ever been
3:50 PM - CodeMagenta: therefore, best decade
