I did an interesting little experiment. Do you ever do "little experiments"?

The Horse @TheHorse (239890) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Aug

I like to do mini-experiments, like seeing how long a stop light is red at various intersections. It turns out (here) that even a really "bad" stop light is really only red for 1 1/2 minutes. Maybe two minutes at the...
