A man grows most tired while standing still

When I first started this blog, an entire month and 13 entries ago, I wondered how quickly I'd run out of material. But I need to have faith. There are countless ways for humans to maim or kill themselves, and the Hong Kong government has an entire department dedicated to creating safety programs and signs for every one of them.

In the Causeway Bay MTR station, they've implemented a trial program to assist residents and visitors who are confused about proper escalator etiquette. There's even an employee to guide those who find it all too overwhelming -- a service that one guy clearly needed. Has he never seen photos of the thousands of people who lose toes and their lives every year to this mechanical menace?
