100 things your kids may never know, like vhs tapes and dropping film off to get your pictures developed. forget my kids, i think a lot of people under the age of 20 already don't know about this stuff.

turn on your headlights on california freeways otherwise you'll get a $203 ticket. the chp must be really hurting for money if they're enforcing something like this.
