Is anyone out there?
Posted Jun 7, 2005
I've been on h2g2 for about 2 weeks, contibuted to 5 conversations (not counting things like "Explain Your Name" on ask h2g2, and written one article (entry, must remember that). And there have been no new replies to anything I wrote! Why is that? Well I guess 5 messages isn't much and the entry was more of a stub.
Will any one ever read this? Of course, I don't bother reading other peoples journal entries. Anyway, if you did see this, leave a message

Human behavure
Posted May 28, 2005
I was at an airport gate, my flight wasn't due to leave for 30 minutes. I sat down in the line, which was empty, because all the benches were full. ~1/2 of the people sitting on the benches got into line. I then decided to go get a Cinabon.
I was waiting at a bus teminal. The temperature was 90F, two other poeple were waiting for the same bus, and the bus was parked at the curb due to leave in about 10 minutes. My radio wasn't working, so I got onto the bus to look for a free newspaper. I walked the length of the bus, didn't find a newspaper on any of the seats but pulled one out of the waste basket on the way out. One person had followed me onto the bus and sat down, the other had gotten up from where he was sitting and sat down again.
Conclusion: people waiting for things display a strong herding behavure
Airports would be ideal for testing this, but I have no immediate plans to fly. (I'm in the US- ticketed passengers only)

Need to get some bismuth or silver to test this
