They also steal thick wool socks.

This is getting on topic.

From MM's original post:

The aim:
The Longest, Most Inconsistently-Off-Topic Thread in History. Well, our history at least.
To be able to dive deeply enough into each topic / conversation to gain insight / learn something before being diverted OT.
To not be bogged down too long in / overwhelmed by any topic; OT diversions will prove critical here.

From the OP's edit:

EDIT: OK, forget the rules.

So I guess all bets are off.

Why are they making so many green tennis balls these days?.

It's because of all the colour blind dogs.

Maybe all the hats were used to make green tennis balls.

You would make a good Pope Phil.

Pope hat would make a great giant spoon. Like, for watermelons.

I was in a band with a drummer who collected hats, he may have stolen one of my mom's hats.

New direction.

Is it magnetics or gravity? When I pass some cars they speed up like they are being pulled by my car, what force of nature is this? Does it hurt my gas milage to be pulling these cars?

This affect is more powerful when people are going slow in the passing lane, and you pass them on the right. Once I passed a guy who was going slow in the passing lane, his car was pulled to what ever speed I was going. To see just how much my car was affecting his I speed up to 65 mph, and down to 45 mph. I was having a good time doing this, and at about the third time up and down, he figured out what I was doing and gave me such a dirty look like it was my fault he was unaware of how he was driving.

It's neither gravity or electricity. It's aura.

Around here there are a lot of highways that are two lanes for a while, and then there will be short passing lane for one of the two. You follow a line of cars with drivers only capable of driving at half the speed limit when there is no passing lane. Then when the passing lane comes they become capable of driving twice the speed limit. When the passing lane ends, they lose the skill.

Boy do I hate when they do that. I was on my way to a gig yesterday on I-95 in a 60mph zone. I was in the right lane and my exit was 2 mi ahead. The guy ahead of me was doing about 40 and trafic to my left was heavy. There was an opening and I moved over to pass this guy and he sped up to about 65. With my exit ahead, I pulled in behind him and he then slowed back down to 40. What the heck?

Great description.

Man, does that crap piss me off. I think it all has to do with being on some sort of power trip.

I think they're just waking up and realizing they're going 4 mph.
