San Franciscans love to walk up escalators. I do it. Most people around here do it. In fact, you can sort of tell non-residents in the city by their escalator behavior. Anyone standing on the left side of the thing is sure to have silent mental missiles sent through them by any local having to step six inches around them, or worse yet, causing the dreaded walk-block.
Ah, culture. It's so strange what people care about.

For years, people have been trying to stop junk email by whining at their elected representatives to legislate against it... yet junk paper mail just keeps on coming and no one seems to mind that. I never got a paper cut from email.

Who'd have thought that in an age where we are recycling 50% of our waste and have such heightened environmental awareness compared with 20 years ago (i.e. Hybrid cars, compostable plastics), that someone would just now decide to start a business of making whale burgers. Wasn't that where environmentalism all started? Saving the whales?
My favorite quote from the Whale Burgermeister: "We have decided to add a whale burger to our menu due to strong demand from our customers and feel very thankful to the whales for allowing us to make the burgers."
I'm sure the whale says "You're welcome."
