Several people expressed interest in the link that got posted in yesterday's midday open thread to the Grand Central Station Freeze event.
I just discovered that there is a worldwide, mostly synchronized set of similar events happening (appropriately enough) tomorrow.
"Though out the world people will gather in squares, stations, in organizations or wherever they are and stop their motion for 5 minutes. Pause for thought. Pause for human kind. Pause for our planet." Details below the fold.
