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.

Proof that most Germans really don't have any sense of humour whatsoever ;)

Breaking off the ceremoy because of a joky response really IS a bit of an anal decision to make, that's just ridiculous! :D

Oh man, that sucked! I'm going to guess that official regulations required the ceremony be stopped, regardless of whether it was a joke or not.

    I agree it sucked, but there are some places you just shouldn't joke around.

    In the airport: "Man, that movie last night was da bomb."

    In the police station: "I'd kill for a cup of coffee right now."

    I'm sure you can think of others.

    The fact that someone would still use the phrase "da bomb" is enough to arrest them... They don't even need to be in an airport. ;)

    When you see your old friends Jack and Jill (that you have not seen for ages) walking ahead of you a ways down the airport concourse you call out..."Hi JILL..." (not "HI J--k!") right?

    Funny story. I'm getting on a flight a day or two after the Richard Reid thing and I don't realize they're checking the shoes on everybody now. I walk up to the security checkpoint and the inspector asks me to remove them. "My shoes?" I say and -- forgetting to think before I speak -- I make the following comment about their terrible odor:

    "Okay... It's your funeral." Guess who got some extra-special treatment that night?

    In the telephone company's central office: "That movie was off the hook."
    At the Cisco support call center: "While I was restocking the coffee bar with sugar, I dropped a bunch of packets."

    I'm here all night, folks. Actually, I'd better quit while I'm ahead.

      Poor woman, hope the groom has a sense of humor. The officials in Steyr certainly don't.

      maybe it's a legal thing. imagine if someone is being forced to marry or something. if they hear a 'no,' they have to call it off. i dunno. let's give some benefit-of-the-doubt to the person who probably had a lot of experience marrying people.

      True. The last thing this couple would want is to find out someday that the marriage is null because witnesses said she indicated negative at the time.

        ...way off topic but, holy crap! How long is a story going to be if that's just the name of the paper.

        These days more and more Austrians are turning to television newscasts, or as they call it, Brachnastengreivichisenblochensteiven.
