Merci
Added by Emily Moss June 13th 2009 @ 10:41 pmWhilst in Scotland, I couldn't help but notice that along the roadway, there were signs posted, simply saying, "Thank You". These signs were as regular as stop signs, or speed limit signs.
I asked my grandfather,"why are there Thank You signs posted?"
He replied,"Well, it's thanking us for driving safely. Also, if you can't read the sign, you're driving too fast."
He may have been telling the truth, but I preferred to interpret the sign at face value, like a bumper sticker that says, "Don't be a jerk." Just "Thank You".
Make a Thank You sign, and post it appropriately.
Thank you.

Critical Mass
Added by Flea September 20th 2008 @ 4:52 pmFrom the Wikipedia article -
As a simple example, consider a big city. If a person stops and looks up at the sky, nothing will happen. People nearby will go on about their business. If three people stop and look up at the sky, perhaps some people will momentarily turn around, but then continue on their way. But only a small number of people is required— say, 5 to 7 (depending on such factors as the culture, time of day, width of the street, etc) — to cause others to stop and look up at the sky, too. This number is called the "critical mass" or tipping point.
Do some experiments with regards to the Critical Masses. Collaboration is pretty much a necessity. level 1 :: 15 points :: 0 completed :: 21 in progress :: 4 comments
