Why the difference in figures?
Where, between the numbers I gave you and the numbers you found?
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:49 (sixteen years ago) link
I mean why, besides the fact that it happened before counting was invented.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Yes.
I am sure I don't have to be too accurate. This is probably for an opening statement.
What are your sources, so I can cite them.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 14:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Are you using this site? Because you'll notice that the difference between Union wounded is not that great: 281,000 vs. 275,000. And total Union deaths is close, too: 364,000 vs. 389,000. Confederate figures are a little further off. For wounded: 137,000 vs. 194,000. Total deaths: 198,000 vs. 289,000.
But to answer your question, a lot of these figures are based on estimates, I think (like that "94,000" number you quoted above).

My source is the Encycl0pa3d1a Br1t@nn1ca Alm@n@c 2008, although since that's unpublished, you could say the 2006 edition, since the figures haven't changed. (We didn't publish an edition for 2007.)

The extra fifty cents will get the pool-pee-ers out of the woodwork.
― Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:26 (sixteen years ago) link
I know.
$755.50
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link
That comes out to around $300 for me, depending on what they mean by "sex" and "nasty home video."

Shut up.
OK.
I kind of hate these things, because they always make me feel inadequate, but then I have to tell myself, "Do I really want to have had sex with someone in jail?"

the old good jesse/bad jesse routine
― Jordan, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:40 (sixteen years ago) link
under $500 = you haven't lived
None of your business.
― n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link
John, just do a little streaking in River North today and you can add $15 to the total.
― Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link
Also wait wait, "had sex with someone on MySpace" = I'm taking that to mean "had sex with someone you MET on MySpace"? Because taken literally, yeah, I've had sex with someone who happens to be on MySpace, long before MySpace was a twinkle in Tom Anderson's eye.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Fuck a co-worker before the end of the day, and you're up another $25.
― Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link
If it makes you feel better, John, my total is significantly below yours.
― n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Eric, what makes you think those aren't already part of my total? ;-)
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Naw, I don't actually feel bad, Nick. There was a time it probably would've bothered me, but not as much anymore.
― jaymc, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link
The priorities of whoever wrote that are really weird, like why is doing acid worth less than smoking pot?
― n/a, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link
haha wtf
― deej, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Masturbating > being arrested?
Where is shitting in the pool? That's got to be worth another .50
Not that I have.
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Heh, good point, John. But taking the one variable I can parse from your total, I suggest using one of those free one-day membership coupons for the Lakeshore Athletic Club and peeing in their pool. After fucking your co-worker. And grab a laptop on the way out the door for another twenty.
― Eazy, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
That would be some day, huh?
^^^^seems rather high
― deej, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I was just about to make that point. It's worth twice as much as fucking a prostitute. I mean, I get drunk at the office Christmas party every year, it's not that hard.

These are indications that this poll was clearly written by a 14-year-old.

what's up with being in love with 2 people at once being one of the 'worst' things on the list? when i was the age of whoever wrote that, i was in and out of love every 5 minutes, and there were totally overlaps.

hi jenny chat with me
― Jesse, Friday, 21 September 2007 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I think that someone should write an article about MySpace surveys and racism similar to this one about Cragslist personal ads and racism. I could submit all the surveys my racist cousin posts as a starting point for data collection.

Go to hell. I'm busy.
"Before I knew it, I was squatting on the floor in this humid room with a camera pointed at my crotch," said model Gabrielle, whose image can be found on the back page of this newspaper.

Surely hearing a roommate have sex because you're stuck in a college dorm room in a bunk bed is different than watching 2 people...
