I was driving down the freeway the other day, feeling a strong emotional identification with knighthood and chivalry, and looked to my left and saw something I have never before seen: a roughly 25′ box attached to the SIDE of a car, which was about 6″ square at the base (in the back), and which tapered to about 3″ square at the tip. It looked for all the world like a lance, held on the right side of the car.
As usual, I will point out I understand confirmation biases and whatnot. I just thought it interesting.
