crashing and generosity

Today I learned that if you crash your nifty new mountain bike when you aren't practically stopped, but you still aren't going that fast, you can break a brake lever, and pair of brake levers costs roughly $30. (So you know, I bruised my hip, but crashing really doesn't hurt like you'd expect.)

Also, I learned that H&R Block will generously allow people to pay $6 for help filling out a 1040EZ tax form (pdf), which has a grand total of ten lines on it. Because, y'know, this is America.
