The possibilities are endless. 

Haven't clicked the link (yet)....

I wanna go for...... the metamucil kicked in, the resulting surprise turd planted itself under right buttock causing depression of accelerator which caused dentures to fly backwards triggering a gag reflex, steering wheel got splattered with puke and became too slippery to grasp, so he could no longer steer and hit a rhino which happened to  be crossing the racetrack at that very moment.

I think the rhino would have made it into the article, but the rest is plausible.

If, by rhino, you mean track barrier, then, yeah.

Oh, yeah, he was a billionaire.  So it's not like he had anything to lose...

Weird little ego boost:

Our first house was a major fixer-upper, and we did most of the work (and all of the interior design) ourselves. We sold it in 2007. I just looked the place up on Zillow, and it had all the realtor photos from the most recent sale in 2019. They still had almost all our stuff--floors, countertops, shower tiles, backyard deck, light fixtures, even decorative mirrors. Really the only thing that had changed was a coat of paint and new carpet. I know it was only a span of 12 years, and it still could have changed in the 4 years since then, but I'm weirdly proud that what we installed has survived the tastes of multiple owners.

an interviewer emailed me to let me know they'd been unable to accurately enter some data.  I pulled up the case and the guy was called R@ndy B@dger.   i nearly died laughing silently

Don't checks usually start in the four digits? Which would mean you've only written forty checks since opening that account. So is it a new-ish account, or a non-check-lifestyle you're living?

I started my current checking account in early 1970 with #0001.
Next one in my book is #9339.

I expect mine started with 0001; this definitely isn't a new account.

No, but it did end in 40, actually.

Yeah, my dad is at something like 12,000, but inventory in his business is purchased and sold almost exclusively by check or cash.

Humanity can be ridiculous. I tend to prefer nonsense over ill will especially during election cycles.

That tops my most recent government related amusement. Last week, I filed for my Social Security on Labor Day.
 

If Tony was still around, he would be excited t have another solid data point on the age guessing game.

Congratulations on reaching the desired SS age.

If you don't already have one, look into the lifetime senior pass for the National Parks.  I think it's only $70, and does not expire..
