Great Mystery of the Universe # 1: Why Do New Yorkers Walk so Fast?
Could it be that they are afriad to loose their place in line at Starbucks? That they've invented a new kind of isometric walking workout performed in dress shoes? Is it like driving on the highway - you must go with the flow of surrounding traffic? Or that most people in NY get to work an hour later than other major cities and so they are worried they might miss a call from Detroit? That they are afriad to pick up an airborne virus carried by the steam from the manholes? If its raining, is it to get out of the weather? If it is sunny, is it to get inside before it starts to rain? Could it be that they are racing to Crumb to pick up the second best cupcake in all the world before their 9:00 board meeting? (I think it must be this last reason).
Based on my adventures so far I would say its either that their subway line has broken down or this last cupcake reason. In which case, i say carry on, New Yorkers! Just leave a cupcake for those of us who are jobless and wandering down to the bakery at 10 after 9...

I feel as though I may have been under-appreciating the cupcake up to this point in my life. I plan to indulge in one soon, and have you to thank.
-Take over NY.
It's usually because I'm always running late!
btw, wouldn't a large cupcake lose it's cup status and become just a cake?
