There's changing going on and you're admiiting to watching it? Isn't that voyeurism?

[Arksided]

Don't watch it, you won't have anything to do tomorrow.

[lady-janine]

Traffic lights. Wow. Haven't seen any for weeks and have almost forgotten what they look like.
Please watch and tell me.

[pixie374]

No spoilers please... I may be doing the same tomorrow...

Might they don't explode. One of my colleagues was hurt when one did. :-(

The First (Disastrous) Trial in England



December 10, 1868: the official birth date of the world’s first traffic light. It was installed at Parliament Square in London. The system was composed of two mobile signs attached to pivoting arms that were manipulated by a lever. The post was topped with a gas-lit semaphore to ensure visibility. But it was short-lived. Less than two months later, the traffic light exploded, killing the police officer who worked the signs.

Q: why was the traffic light red?

A: because it had to stop and go on a street corner.
