Things that make you say, "WTF?"

I was driving to work on 101 South this morning, which is one of two major freeways on the San Francisco Peninsula. There next to the center divider I saw a very odd sight - a teenager* walking north with a BMX bike. I didn’t see any cars stalled on the left shoulder, so I was left to wonder how in the hell a kid could have gotten from the street and across four lanes of very heavy traffic.

  • I suppose it could have been a short adult, but I didn’t get that good a look.

Ever play Frogger ?

Heh, yeah, I guess this guy was doing it for real. Now imagine 3 to 4 times as much traffic, moving at 60-70 mph. I think the scaled speed in Frogger is more like 20-40 mph.
