A very surreal thing happened to me this week

I'm walking down the street, and suddenly notice a car stopped in front of a pedestrian crosswalk (one of those without a traffic light or anything). What's weird is no pedestrian is crossing or wants to cross, but the driver has this blank look like she's waiting for someone. OK, so she's spaced out, I think. But the taxi driver behind her and the car driver behind the taxi driver have the same blank look. Nobody's getting impatient with her at all for just standing there. I seriously am staring at this situation for a full 20 seconds at least before a truck comes up behind these three cars, honks, and everyone starts driving again as if nothing weird just happened. You have entered The Twilight Zone...doodoodoodoo....

Oh, another funny thing: Someone's listening to rap music in the subway so loud everyone can hear the music. Again, nothing special, except for the music: The chorus's beat is the loading sound of a shotgun and the shotgun shoots every 2nd beat. Writing this down I wonder if you all think that's as funny as I do. I couldn't help but laugh, in any case, and hope the guy doesn't pull out his own shotgun to shoot me. :)

Cool link of the week: Right here.
Click on one of those pictures for a year-long time-lapsed satellite shot of the States with each hurricane very visible. VERY VERY cool.
