Galeforce gusts blew this Maltese-@!$%#z right off Brighton Pier in Victoria, Australia. Sue Drummond could only look on helplessly as her dog, ironically named Bi Bi, was swept into the angry waves. Luckily, Raden Soemawinata was nearby and took action. Raden stripped down and dove into the bay to save helpless dog.
Raden was a humble hero about the situation saying, "It was pretty cold and windy, but it wasn't such a hard decision to jump in, it wasn't such a great feat." He also added, "I'm a part-time model, so getting into my jocks isn't so different to what I do for work." God bless part-time models

What's this?

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.

Brilliant Red,*my apologies for shortening the FORMAL ID*.... If I keep seeing these wonderful seeds, you find, I am going to have to study a Lexicon to add new phraseology to me verbose verbiage base(said with dry wit intended)because awwwww and ohhhhhhooohhh and ooooooohhhhoooo do not go far repeated over and over.

Splendid story.

Awesome guy to just jump in without worry of HIS comfort....

*goes off to learn new words*

Very true. Red is good, the whole name is too long. I should have picked a name to match my picture. Your language is fine, desctiptive. That guy was amazing, what he did. I hope he is rewarded in some way.
