Space Junk

Have you ever noticed that in the exact center of every major perfectly-symmetrical traffic intersection there is a little debris field -- shattered glass, bits of plastic, small metal parts -- that is the residual evidence of now forgotten collisions? There it sits until the wind, the rain, a street-sweeper, or errant drivers scatters it into oblivion.

No joke, I once saw both a plastic doll and a meat cleaver in the middle of the same intersection. I couldn't begin to guess what was going on in that car when it wrecked.
