Real Fact #153

Tonight I needed to reboot a client server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 because it locked up and I couldn’t get to it remotely.

While I was waiting for the thing to reboot, I grabbed a Snapple from the clients break room fridge. For those of you who know which client I’m speaking about, yes I did put a dollar into the donation cup.

After I finished the Snapple, I was reading the “Real Fact” that they place under the bottle cap. Here is what it said:

The speed limit in NYC was 8 mph in 1895.

That’s really interesting because roughly 111 years later the average freeway speed limit here in the United States is between 55-70 mph depending on which freeway you’re traveling on and which State.

The average speed limit on city streets is between 30-45 mph.

Thanks Snapple for “Real Fact” #153 and for my Kiwi Strawberry drink!
