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.

It's easily done. I left an umbrella on the back seat of my car once....

Methodical Heike Strassman, 34, clubbed husband Thomas, 46, to death

I kind of want to believe that her first name is methodical and it's not a descriptor.

Well.... and the severed leg on the back seat of the car... ;-)

It is just like leaving the gas tank open when you drive off from the station, really they are quite similar, only one is a human leg that you cut off.

Was the "mistake" forgetting about the leg or the murder? Wow..just wow. Guess she won't be hurrying back to her kids anytime soon. The things people think they can get away with!

I thought you put corpses in the trunk. What was it doing in the back seat where it could stain the upholstery?

Well, I would suppose, that after murdering someone, you might be in bit of a panic. Poor thing though, after all that work! Yuck.

Too bad it wasn't an arm though, she might have been able to stuff that under the seat.

Puppies are cute and fluffy. This guy was a douche:

She claimed she'd been driven to murder by her policeman husband's violence and feared what he would do to her if she asked for a divorce.

Show me a story about a puppy that beats his wife and has her scared to death of him who ends up chopped to pieces and I'll show you a story we can poke fun at.

He has a leg-up on her.

She kept is so she'd have a leg to stand on in court.

Maybe she still gets a kick out of him.

Thank you and remember to tip your waitress
