I wonder if I could also include some spooky music just to heighten the urgency of it all! I wonder if Canadian escalators are the killers that their Japanese counterparts are... I mean they are all related, and this murderous streak must surely run through the family!

I guess the fear of litigation the problem!

The poetic justice of cause and effect is a wonderful thing, but it can seem magical when we just don't look at potential consequences :P I'm waiting for one of those slow news months where they blame chickens for not making "drop-resistant eggs". Heaven forbid we blame ourselves for dropping food on the floor! Why should we be responsible for our own actions when we can blame others for our inabilities?
