People should just be nice anyway. It's free and it's easy.I learnt today that a "Invalid Link Removed tracked how quickly a shopper drove out of a parking space while another motorist waited to take their spot. Unsurprisingly, the departing driver took longer to vacate the space when the waiting motorist beeped their horn."
"So if you come across someone loading up their car, be nice. The ruder you are, the longer they take to leave." Mind you, I always had my suspicions - the evidence is very handyAnd it resonates, mark my words
This timely little gem came from this Crowded car park? Maths can help you find a space story.
To simplify things, imagine a big single-storey car park with the destination — the shopping centre — at one end of the rectangle.I like that part especially 'cause that's how I roll, or should I say park
There are no lights or signs to indicate how many spots are left or where they might be. All you have is your eyes.
You could simply sit in an aisle and wait, said Michael Rose, a mathematician and science communicator at ANSTO in Sydney.
If there are 30 parked cars in that aisle — 15 on each side — and shoppers spend on average three hours buying Christmas gifts, one should emerge and drive away an average of every six minutes.
May as well take a cold bevie and some nibblys and have ourselves a six minute Soiree, while we wait
Yes, in the brain, not the muscles. Muscles don't remember, the brain does. Maybe that's why they don't undetstand. The name is misleading.
That is certainly disconcerting.This morning I learned that my 23-year-old son, who I had always assumed I had brought up properly and with a decent taste in/knowledge of music, was convinced George Harrison was the Beatles' bass-player.
I'm so sorry.This morning I learned that my 23-year-old son, who I had always assumed I had brought up properly and with a decent taste in/knowledge of music, was convinced George Harrison was the Beatles' bass-player.

Make sure he knows that we are on Paul number two after 1966.

Why do you think that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is so different?
Paul McCartney had been killed in a car crash after a January 1967 traffic accident involving his car.[1]
Proof is in the Abbey Road album cover.
the Abbey Road album cover as symbolising a funeral procession, where Lennon, dressed in white, symbolises the heavenly figure. Ringo Starr, dressed in black, symbolises the undertaker, George Harrison, in denim, symbolises the gravedigger, and McCartney, barefoot and out of step with the others, symbolises the corpse. [8]

SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
This song details the arrival of William Campbell; the Beatles are pretending to be another band in order to reveal the hoax.
With A Little Help From My Friends
The introduction announces "Billy Shears," a pun on words which means "Billy's here," referring to the arrival of William Campbell.
She's Leaving Home
The opening line "Wednesday morning at five o'clock" indicates the time of Paul's crash.
Lovely Rita
Details Paul catching a glimpse of Rita the meter maid, which led to the crash.
Good Morning, Good Morning
The phrases "nothing to do to save his life," "and you're on your own you're in the street," "people running around it's 5 o'clock," and "watching the skirts you start to flirt, now you're in gear" are all details of the crash.
Notice the time of the crash matches that in "She's Leaving Home."
A Day In The Life
The person John wrote about in these famous lines is reported to be Tara Browne, heir to the Guinness fortune. But PIDers see these lyrics as a motherlode of crash details, including "He blew his mind out in a car. He didn't notice that the lights had changed. A crowd of people stood and stared. They'd seen his face before..."
MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
Fool On The Hill
The fool is apparently Campbell, who is doomed to be ignored for "the sound he appears to make." Or the fool is Paul, who is dead and buried, which is why he lies "perfectly still."

This song features a sampled recording of a BBC production of Shakespeare's King Lear. The sampled passage goes like this:
Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse.
If ever thou wilt thrive, bury my body
And give the letters which you find'st about me
To Edmund, Earl of Gloucester. Seek him out
Upon the English party. O, untimely death!
Death!
I know thee well: a serviceable villain,
As duteous to the vices of thy mistress
As badness would desire.
What, is he dead?
Sit you down, father. Rest you.
The chanting at the end, when played backward, reveals the chanted phrase "Paul is dead! Ha ha!"
Strawberry Fields Forever
At the end of the track, when it fades back in, John is heard saying "I buried Paul."(John actually says "cranberry sauce," as proven on the Anthology outtakes.
Hello Goodbye
"You say goodbye, I say hello" is William Campbell's mention of his arrival and Paul's departure.
All You Need Is Love
At the end of the track, John sings, "Yes he's dead," and "We loved you, yeah, yeah, yeah..." (Examination of the audio proves that John is singing "Yesterday" and that Paul joins him in singing "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah / She'd love to, yeah, yeah, yeah...")
THE BEATLES (KNOWN AS "THE WHITE ALBUM")
Glass Onion
"Here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul." The Walrus, in India, is a symbol of death. (Not true.) A "glass onion" is an English term for a see-thru coffin.(Also not true.)
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
George is singing "Paul, Paul, Paul" at the end of the song. (Actually, he's just moaning.)
I'm So Tired
The gibberish at the end, when played backward, becomes "Paul is dead, man, miss him, miss him."
Don't Pass Me By
Ringo sings "You were in a car crash / And you lost your hair." This is what happened to Paul.
Revolution #9
The repeated phrase "Number nine," when played backward, becomes "turn me on, dead man." There's also a lot of recorded conversation in this music-free track, much of which has been taken by listeners as clues to Paul's crash and death: "his voice was low and his eyes were high and his eyes were closed" and "his legs were drawn, his hands were tied, his feet were bent and his head was on fire and his glasses were insane.
This was the end of his audience," and "My wings are broken and so is my hair. I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing." You can also hear the crash, a fire, sirens, and Paul screaming "Get me out."

Only A Northern Song
Written by George in reference to the band's publishing company, Northern Songs, this song contains several lyrics that reference Paul's replacement, such as "When you're listening late at night / You may think the band is not quite right," and "You may think the band's a little dark and out of key," before announcing "There's nobody there."
Hey Bulldog
Although this is John's song, both John and Paul sing lead vocals, which makes the line "You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue" suspect to PID enthusiasts.
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Come Together
"One and one and one is three" refers to the three remaining Beatles.
LET IT BE
Let It Be
The phrase "Let It Be," played backward, becomes "He is dead."
SINGLES
Lady Madonna
The line "Wednesday morning papers didn't come" refers to an English newspaper recalling Wednesday's paper which reported Paul's crash (which happened, according to the legend, on a Tuesday). (There's no evidence of any papers being recalled on the day in question.)
Revolution
John sings "Paul died, Paul died" at the end. (He's actually singing "All right," a continuation of the phrase used in the chorus.)
You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)
After the cuckoo clock chimes, a phone rings, and a number is recited. Calling this number will present you with a recorded announcement containing more clues.
