Journal blazin's Journal: Ask a subset of /. 23
Since I am not sure anyone actually reads this journal any more, I'll try once again to get someone to comment on something.
I recently ran across (recently as in less than 10 minutes ago) this movie site while looking through del.icio.us at work because there's nothing to do.
Anyway, there's one video I found of one of the players in the game saying that there's a misconception that quadriplegics can't move their arms. My understanding was that it was paraplegics who can move their arms and quadriplegics are paralyzed from the neck down. I took at the google dictionary link for both paraplegic and quadriplegic and it seems to agree with what I thought.
My question is, is there some case or circumstance where the guy in the video (who is seen cruising in the Murderball chair, palming and throwing a volleyball) would be considered a quadriplegic? Has the designation of level of paralysis changed?

Now, having said that....did you know that yesterday was free slurpee day at 7/11? I'm wondering how many free 7.11oz slurpees you managed to guzzle down in one day? ;-)

I did see about the stick-em, but the guy is still throwing the ball which is much more than I'd expect someone categorized as a quadriplegic to be able to do. Hence the question.

That being said, I've apparently missed more of the website. I didn't see a part with player interviews (unless you mean in the movie trailer) and I still don't know where the link was that sielwolf sent on.
Are you looking at the flash or html version of the site?
