	<htmltext>The quantitative test on the notability of unicycling clowns would be how many people twittered about it? None? Then it is not actually particularly remarkable for anyone to see a clown on a unicycle, so being asked 'did you see anything unusual?' is not going to get a very high response.<br>
Indeed, I would argue that a man in a clown suit actually makes it a less unusual event than just the unicycle. Once you are seeing a unicycle, you are quite likely to see a clown on it. Now, if it had been a man in a nun's habit on a unicycle, I think the question 'did you see anything unusual' would get a higher response.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>I want to say "yes, they didn't see that clown because they were on a cell phone"</p><p>But could it be the mere fact that those people are engaged in a conversation and intentionally blocking out external distractions. That is to say, it's the "conversation" or the "doing something" that is to blame, not the cell phone itself.</p><p>So, how do you pick the correct "non-cellphone" users as your control? Do they need to also have been in a conversation so we can say that it's actually being on the cell phone that made the person so clueless about their surroundings?</p><p>We can argue that this doesn't matter, I suppose and that "hey look, cell phone use = more distraction no matter what the underlying reason for using one". And perhaps, this is a less practical thought exercise. But, specifics are a good thing.

	<htmltext>When you're walking with someone, there's a tendency to look at them.  To compensate for this, you need to look where you're going more carefully so that you still have an accurate mental picture of your surroundings when you look at the person.

If you're bringing up kids, make sure they do something that forces wide situational awareness.  Riding. Soccer. Martial arts.  Paintball.  Birdwatching.  Otherwise you're bringing up a victim.</p></htmltext>

Fairhaven College (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairhaven\_College). Fairhaven students study such useful courses as 'Mushroom Identification', aren't graded, and generally live as if they are in the '60s.

My first room-mate at WWU was one such student. I came back to college after a weekend visit and found him 'Making our room into a forest'.  He was dragging evergreen boughs into our room and tucking them into every corner and under the mattresses, had a camp stove going, and listening to Bob Dylan.  Needless to say, he had taken several hits of LSD.

	<htmltext>The parent speaks the truth.

One day at my campus, I walked by an <i>entire crowd</i> of mimes. That same week, the aged president of the university whizzed by me in a go-kart, cheering. Not too much later, a man in a top hat and lab coat, astride a five foot tall bicycle with a mounted fire extinguisher, rode past. I could go on, because these are everyday things here. We even have a handful of unicyclists, so I don't know if I'd notice one dressed as a clown.</htmltext>
