My brother and I used to race my parents' 5-speed Stanza wagon against anyone that would put up something of value. The trick?

@englishman: I watched someone release their seatbelt in a parking lot and send their belt-clipped cellphone flying a good fifty feet. Hilarious (for me). Wish I had caught it on camera.

If I heard it on the radio, I can download it. If I saw it in the theater, I can download it. If it was on TV, even if I didn't watch it while it was on but paid for the cable service to receive it, I can download it.
