My favorite, however, was a brief mention here:http://dotnet.sys-con.com/read/390444.htm. This guy was visiting San Fransisco from New York, and reported some of his personal observations.
The fourth bullet down, he talks about how people in SF are much more crazy in NY:
Haha!The crazy people are far more interactive in SF than they are in NYC. Most of the crazy folks in NYC just kind of talk to themselves and generally mind their own business. Their San Francisco counterparts actually step in front of you and attempt to engage you in conversation about the end of the world, or, I actually saw a parade of people that belong to the "society of the ancients", people who believe that aliens built the pyramids. This is a crapload more entertaining than the guy outside Penn Station who just swears at you!
