Oh - that chick who went full frontal?
Yeah, sometimes I do regret internet searches.
Morbid curiosity - one helluva drug.
Meanwhile, the Manitoba Chinese Choir sang "O Canada* at Tuesday night’s Winnipeg-Carolina hockey game.
It would’ve been interesting it they’d had Buffy Sainte-Marie singing the Star-Spangled Banner.
Perfect; thank you. That’s her.
At least she’s (in)famous enough to have her own wiki page. Unlike schlubs like me (and probably you). So she’s got that goin’ for her. 
I absolutely do not have a page and am thankful for it, LOL.
Me as well, but I am wondering: do any Dopers have a Wikipedia page?
They’d have to out themselves to tell us which page. And anyone could claim to have one and absent their wiki url & hence IRL name we couldn’t verify.
We did have some well-known names (in nerdy circles at least) that used to post occasionally. Like early 2000s. Maybe Randall Munroe of xkcd, but I’m not sure.
Phil Plait the Bad Astronomer guy definitely used to post occasionally although I don’t know what his Dopername was; he was before my time. But I have read posts here with posters talking about when he did or what he’d said. He definitely has a wiki page:
He was @The_Bad_Astronomer . Neil DeGrasse Tyson also showed up briefly, though I think folks scared him off.
And of course, Cecil Adams also has a Wiki page.
Jim Beaver and Neil deGrasse Tyson are a couple of celebrities who have posted here but I don’t consider someone who posts a couple of times then never posts again to be a “Doper”.
I used to do a lot of work with various conflict of interest issues at Wikipedia, both before and after being an administrator. (I suspect it was my work managing the COI Noticeboard that got attention and led to me being nominated for admin in the first place.) Based on my experience helping celebrities and their representatives manage their articles, it seems like it could potentially be such a stressful pain in the ass that I’m glad I never have to worry about it.
J. Michael Straczynski posted once or twice.
Once they find out about the Celebrity Death Pool …
I think I saw them open for Motley Crue in '86.
Just now sent him this note through the Hayden Planetarium website:
“Hey when are you gonna check out the Straight Dope messageboards again? You’re missed!”
A passenger named their wifi hotspot “I have a bomb”–and another passenger reported it to a stewardess.
(Elienisse Diaz) Rodriguez, a first-grader at Eastland Christian School in Orlando (who had just turned 7 years old), was “making her first runs in a junior dragster” when the crash happened, according to Dragzine.com. Junior dragsters, the vehicles used in junior drag racing, can reach speeds of up to 85 miles per hour.
She did not make it home.

“Can” being the operative word. 7 year olds are limited to much slower. This is poor reporting.
It seems 7 year olds should be limited to something they can pedal.
According to Wikipedia, “junior dragsters” drive 1/8 of a mile (or 660’). They have a limit to how quickly they can complete that drive, with a 5-year-old (the youngest allowed) limited to 20 seconds. The older a kid is, the quicker they can complete it.
In the 6-7 year range (that this child would fall under) the fastest is 13.9 seconds. At 660 in 13.9 seconds, that’s about 47.5 feet/second or about 32 MPH.
So yeah, significantly slower than the misleading article says. You might as well say that bumper cars are dangerous because a car can reach speeds of almost 300 MPH.
All that being said, 32 MPH still seems reckless if a 7-year-old is driving IMHO.
If it’s like other drag racing, you start from a standstill. In order to average 32 mph, you’ll be going faster than that at the finish.
I’ve watched Junior drags. “Blazing” would not be an adjective I would use. You could probably save time by sending the next pair down the track when the first two are at the halfway point.
Given that, I’m sorry she is dead, but those dragsters are not death traps. They are miniature versions of top fuel dragsters with an engine that would be at home in a go-kart.
