As I was driving home from work today, I saw something I regularly see when the sun is shining and it's hot out. Two motorcycles passed each other, and as they did they each stuck their left arm out straight. I've come to assume this is some sort of cycler greeting...but how did it start? Who thought, 'Hey, it would be cool if as we passed each other on our motorcycles we stuck our arm out.' And then, how did they all find out and know to do it. And that right there, sticking my arm out as I ride past a fellow cycler, is the first of many reasons that I would love to someday have a motorcycle of my own.
But this isn't the only thing we as a culture do that I wonder how got started and not only that but how it spread and continued. These aren't written rules, people just know. Like, could I start some crazy thing like wearing blue on a certain day and get everyone else in the country to do it too?
Noni Fun Fact: I think a day where everyone wore blue would be awesome, we'd all look like Smurfs. Funny.
