the left lane
It is for fast cars. Slower traffic should keep right. But you know, there is always going to be some jackass who refuses to get out of the left lane.

some world records aren't worth having
So, first of all, this show Manswers is alright. It's a little unrefined but they show some cool stuff.
Anyway, I'm watching it tonight and they showed some guy who stuck 170-or-some clothespins to his face, setting a new world record. Imagine if that record stands. In 100 years, people look back and see that some guy thought it would be a good idea to stick 170 clothespins to his face. And you know what's going to happen? They're going to feel sorry for him, much like I do right now. But I guess he could have gone for something worse, like world's smallest genitalia or world's least original example of a world record.
But that gets me thinking. All these world records. How many of them are "records" simply because most people just don't care enough to even try to break them? I'm guessing a very, very, very high percentage.
