Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Why do some countries drive on the right and others on the left?
Not a simple problem, knights preferred left side of road so that their sword arm was meeting a possible adversary. French wagon drivers perferred the right side to avoid collisions. The traditions go back to the middle ages in Japan but here is the whole story.
