Jump off the bridge with me!

This is the problem with LJ, we all think we are close, but we know nothing about each other. To rectify this, I want you to ask something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

My wife (who's also from the St. Louis area) and I have these debates from time to time. She likes the hills and rivers in St. Louis, and she also likes how it's more closely-packed than KC. On the other hand, I prefer the flat, open, spread-out Kansas City plains. As far as actual city contents, though, it's six of one, half-dozen of the other.

But if I had to narrow it down to one thing that tips the scales towards KC in my eyes, it's the speed limits. Namely, it's that speed limits in KC almost all end in 5, while speed limits in St. Louis almost all end in 0. Stupid distinction, I know, but for some reason, it's a pain in the ass for me, mostly because my spedometer is marked out in fives (5,15,25,35,etc.) and I'm used to driving at 35,45,55,65. Driving at 40 or 60 just feels weird to me.
