PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- State Police arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level allegedly was .491 -- more than six times the legal limit -- which they believe is the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.  Stanley Kobierowski, 34, of North Providence, was arrested after he drove into a highway message board on Interstate 95 in Providence, Maj. Steven O'Donnell said.  A Breathalyzer test showed Kobierowski had blood alcohol readings of .489 followed by .491, O'Donnell said, the highest readings anyone at the State Police or the Department of Health could remember for someone who didn't end up dead. The legal limit in Rhode Island is .08. A blood alcohol of .3 is classified as "stupor," .4 is "comatose" and .5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.

Got to love the Rhode Island Staties.  They nail the guy for a .489 breathalyzer test, realize they are may be on the verge of setting a world record, so they tee him up again and like a true champion Stanley delivers with a .491 on the second try.   Sure the IOC is going to question how he gained those .002 percentage points in the span of a couple seconds but when you push your body to the limit, you'd be amazed what your body can do.    I just hope it was enough to get him the World Record or at least the National title.  Does anybody know if anybody has ever beat .491 before?   And just like with competitive eating if the person in question had a reversal of fortune or in this case died it doesn’t count.
