1. Bus Seating - After tons of bus trips over the last few months I have figured out how people sit.
Here is what goes through people's mind:
1. If you know a person you sit next to them or the closest seat next to them.
2. If there is a empty row of 2 seats you sit in the empty row.
3. Avoid homeless people.
4. Once all the empty rows are gone people do the following:
a. Find the person that is most similar to them. (Age, race, background)
Examples: Young people sit next to young people, People with Laptops sit next to others using laptops.
b. Only exception to a is people sit near (not next too) people they find attractive.
5. If other people are standing up people assume the back of the bus is also full and will also stand up.
2a. Treadmill Back Stopper - I know they have that clip that when stretched stops the treadmill but when you are sprinting on a treadmill and watching a game and decide to cheer there needs to be something to stop you from falling off the treadmill.
2b. Also on the subject of treadmills what is the proper way of running on a treadmill. I always feel like I am out running the treadmill because I hit the front handles while running. Are you supposed to run in the middle? How was the length of the treadmill determined?
3. Four Loko became more popular because it got banned. The government just made the best marketing move for Four Loko.
4. Karaoke places should have signs outside the singing rooms showing what people are singing inside. This way when you are singing Justin Bieber's new jam everybody will know.
5. They should extend mascots and name to include actual people. Philadelphia Alis, San Francisco Gandhis.

Fall Ponderings
Ponderings 11/14/2010
Day Light Savings:
1A. Why are places normally open at 2am allowed to close at 1:01 am on daylight savings?
Lets say I travel to SF and land at 1:59 am on daylight savings day. As I turn on my cell phone the time has turned back an hour to 1:00 am. I want to go club for an hour and think it is 1:01 am but the place is closed and I am given false hope.
1B. Why does Arizona not follow daylight savings? It makes no sense to me. Either other states should follow Arizona if daylight savings loses money or Arizona should join the rest of the States.
1C. Does day light savings actually work? Before Daylight savings it was dark until 7:20 am in Seattle and would get dark again around 5:30-6:00. With daylight savings we get from 6:20-4:30-5:00. Are more people awake between 6:00 pm - 7:20 am, or betweeb 5:00pm - 6:20 am? I keep hearing we do it for the farmers so then does Arizona not have farmers?
2. A la carte vs. A la mode - Why did we adopt these into English? Instead of "By itself or with ice cream?
3. Why is having a clean shave more formal than a beard or a little scruff?
4. Grocery store deals: Why are some deals 5 for $10 but you can buy only 1 and still get the deal but then other deals require you to get 5 for the deal.
5. Did Play Station just come out with the Wii remote 2 years late?
6. Expert picks: When you go to any sports site they will always have a section for expert picks. Who decides those reporters are experts? If any expert does not have a 65% or higher pick rate they should be removed from the expert pick section for a season.
