More Jetlag Evidence

The Subway Seat Illusion
I was riding the R train this morning, reading the paper, sipping on my dollar-cart coffee, feeling pretty groggy. The seats in front of me were empty, as usual - the R train is one of the slowest and thus usually one of the emptiest.

I peeked over to the left and something didn't quite seem right. I had to stare for a while before I noticed the powder blue seats. I know I was imagining it - I've never seen powder blue seats on the subway.
