Random...



I figured I'd give some random background on my icon. The pedestrian signal with the guy with the hat is from east Berlin. Under communist rule, all of the little guys on the lights wore hats. So, when the wall fell, the west wanted to replace all the hat guys with their "normal" pedestrian lights. However, the east Berliners threw a hissy fit and, to this day, you can tell when you enter east Berlin because all the crosswalk signal guys wear hats. Silly Germans...
