Night Running?
I used to have a schedule in college that would have me up in the middle of the night so I'd end up running about about 2 in the morning. Never had any problems, but I would never run in any populated areas - downtown, college campuses, etc. I also explored the area by car at night because it's sometimes hard to judge which areas are empty that late. 10PM I think you'd still have people out most places and then you know, you have the possibility of some of them being problems.....

Christmas Lights In Vancouver?

What happens when you don't pay your student loans

I thought it was more like Schrodinger's cat - I believe there was a line indicating the he was never sure in Angier's dying speech. If I remember correctly, Falon tells him that true magic requires sacrifice and courage- Angier then tells him something along the lines of "courage - what do you think it felt like to climb into that machine every night and not be sure if you were the prestige or the man in the box?".

Jon Mitchell, the store is named "I Love Hats". (604) 739-0200. It might have something like a bowler hat, but it won't be super cheap.

What happens when men pass each other on the sidewalk?
There is something there, but it's mostly unconcious. Also, I think it depends a lot on your upbringing and cultural background - it's a dominance thing, but not really a major one. Probably on the same level as personal space - how much different people require to be comfortable, etc.
Second that book mentioned by milkdropcoronet - it has a chapter on this kind of thing.
