There are not many places in the world where on your way to work you can see cars at a traffic light with a cumulative value of R5-million. The streets of Beverley Hills would certainly sport their fair share and perhaps the parking lots of The Ritz in London could display a few Bentleys. But move over folks, South Africa’s golden highways make you look like poor cousins.

How do they get all that money? Maybe we should rather ask, how do the get all that credit? Or have these 'imagites' merely fallen prey to the media hype on what success should look like?

A good place to go big bucks car spotting is your local northern suburbs gym. As you lock the doors of your economy car a twinge of envy may creep in when witnessing the vast array of automotive excellence before you.

Those cars are monuments to the success of their owners: the top dogs, the achievers and the lucky few... But don't be fooled, there is a good chance that they have no savings, angry creditors and sleepless nights.

Say friend, did you know that the US Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8 1/2 inches.

That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English expatriates.

I see, but why did the English build them like that?
Because the first railway lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Well, why did they use that gauge in England?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay! Why did their wagons use that odd wheel spacing?
Because, if they tried to use any other spacing the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads. Because that's the spacing of the old wheel ruts.

Interesting thought

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, and frustrated.
You are really stressed and upset. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What to do ?
You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that conducted the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself! How to survive a heart attack when alone?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing conscious
What to do ?
