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.

Scientists discovered that being able to pull off dance floor moves with the ease of John Travolta indicates strength and ability to produce healthy offspring.

This reminds me of Aaron Sorkin on Studio 60: "Researches revealed that men who can dance attract more women than men who can't. The full report can be read in the current issue of Gay Husband Monthly."

That's a joke, though. I love people who can rivet well, and this dude cracks me up, as he wanders around Disneyland and malls, rivetting and getting weird looks (the second video is a better example, but I like the song in the first one better).

Found a good example of a girl, too, in case anyone is homophobic about watching boys dance.

Yeah. No. I don't think I've ever been swayed by the smooth moves pulled on the dance floor.

I think the point of the study was simply that men who dance well tend to be in better shape, and more physically impressive. Not that the crotch grabbing was supposed to woo you. :P
