3/11    Random question for Bay Area csua-ers:  when you're driving on the
        San Mateo-Hayward bridge there are these signs with numbers on them
        in the center divider that start at 1100 or so, then decrease as you
        head westward until you hit the high-rise where they change entirely.
        does anyone know what their purpose is?
        \_ I saw similar signs on Golden Gate Bridge.  My guess is they're
           there for maintenance purposes.
        \_ Body count.
           \_ Body Count??  Wasn't that Ice-T's crappy punk/metal band?
              Didn't they break up or OD on heroin or something?
                \_ Yeah.  On the San Mateo bridge.
                   \_ 1100 times!?!?!
                        \_ About that many.
