Weird to see something so local to me on here. I just went to check it out last night! I didn't pay the $10 to go up the elevator, but it is quite impressive in there considering it's basically just a ginormous store. They have live fish and ducks in the "swamp" and alligators in one part. It's drawing huge crowds this weekend (especially matching up with the music fest) but I hope it can keep attracting enough people after the novelty wears off...
I think it's the other way around -- it seems that the cyclist was crossing while the motorists had a green, and the pedestrian is crossing once it turns red.
I can't believe nobody checks to see if the cyclist is alright or not though.
It actually takes me longer to read things written entirely in caps, personally. I think it's because it's lacking the extra clues that the lower case letters have to offer (more variation facilitates quicker differentiation).
And I read all-caps writing as yelling simply because that's how it's utilized in society. Not that difficult of a question. It's not just that it's /louder/, it's just a widely-used way to emphasize written speech.
Clearly a primitive oral hygiene tool for young children. Usually painted bright colors, kids would mistake it for a lollipop. While they suck on it, it cleans between their teeth. No need to fight over flossing again! (phased out due to horrible metallic taste...)
Aussie rules football is similar to rugby but has different rules. I've only been to one game, so I'm no expert or anything, but I was given the impression at the time that this sort of move isn't entirely unusual.
I've actually eaten a chocolate-covered cricket before. Once you get over the idea of it, it's mostly just like a piece a nestle crunch... actually, the worst part about it wasn't the cricket at all - the chocolate used was probably the worst I've ever had.
