Your Score: Mary Sue

Your score was 70 in Unbelievability!

You are your author's Mary Sue, and if a fiction writer wrote about a character like you, they would be doing something very wrong.

You're unreal. There's something about you which words cannot describe- well, OK, they can, but not in a way that you seem at all plausible. You are completely unique, special, and, most of all, improbable. The chances of you being the way you are are about the same as the chances of your computer screen exploding right now. It could happen, but it would come as a big surprise.

A novel with you as a character wouldn't even make it past the publishers. It would be rejected immediately because nobody would ever believe you could exist. You and your life are the stuff that daytime talk shows are made of. If you ever want to publish the story of your own life, make sure it's an autobiography, because you're too damn weird for fiction.

That train was just amazing. I wish people would understand why we want one of those for California. It's so annoying that they dither while we pay more and more for Gas and Airline Tickets. If we had that kind of train there would be no need for Airlines in California.
I wanna go ZoomZoom!

Wow, what a rush. Mind you, that particular ride was a stunt, achieved by running a very short trainset with two power units, and I think temporarily pumping the power up to 50KV instead of the normal 25KV, but even so, it's amazing. And the planned operational speed of those things is going to be 325 km/h, which is no slouch at all.

A California state legislator was on board that train. When she got home, she started banging the drum for California to finally get off the stick and start building a high speed system of our own here in California.

You, of course, experienced decent rail transport in Japan. I'm reminded of the time my wife and I boarded a train at Hakata and rode up to the next stop to transfer to a local train heading for the Kyushu Railway Museum. This is roughly equivalent of boarding a train in Seattle heading south to Olympia or from Portland heading for Salem. It took fifteen minutes.

I watched that listening to Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal." :-)

wheee! choo choo go zoom!

(Yes, the video really does appeal to me at that level as much as it appeals to me rationally.)

I like the shot near the end of the video when it goes under the bridge.

Great idea! I love it! It disgusts me that it would never get off the ground in the US....

Being a train, one hopes it never gets off the ground. ^_^

Makes me nostalgic for my travels in Japan. The shinkansen bullet train just rules. Over here in Amtrak land, it's depressing to ride. But who knows? Maybe a random will happen and high speed rail will start to happen! Come on, wheel, spin!

It would be sooooo nice to have high-speed rail here in the US... Especially with the uniformed goons at the TSA, etc. etc. While I can fly from Indianapolis to Las Vegas in 5 hours of flight time, have to add in 4 hours for airport nonsense (security, waiting for McCarren's NOTORIOUSLY HORRIBLY SLOW baggage claim [seriously, plan AT LEAST 40 minutes AFTER getting to baggage claim], etc.)...

Even if I had to make a couple connections, and even at the normal pokey 200MPH, that'd be maybe 11 or 12 hours by rail (it's 1800 miles, give or take, by car), and I'd have far more of my precious sanity still left... and that's on a fairly long commute.
