Another useless fact is that if you had watched *really* closely (ha!) as they came off the freeway and turned left onto a surface street, you would have seen me standing there staring at the runners, the five helicopters, and the two blimps which were hovering directly overhead providing "security" and video relaying for the live world feed. It's a strange feeling to see a little cart roll by with a tiny little antenna and realize that the camera on that cart is feeding into many 100's of millions of televisions around the world. --Lauren--
