I take my next driving test at the end of the month. Once I pass I'll be a G2 driver and allowed to do everything a fully licensed driver does. Watch out folks!!! After that, only 1 more test (the Highway Exit Test) a year later to be a fully licensed driver.

false story. His last remaining servant heard him.

The servant was nowhere near the scene though. Kane is clearly alone as he dies. He says "Rosebud", drops the snow globe and croaks. Alone. It's the nurse entering the room who discovers he's died.

The servant's line that he heard him say "Rosebud" seems tacked on.

Perhaps Welles realised he'd made the mistake and corrected it in the film, but the fact remains that although the servant says he was there, Kane died alone.

Felicity, California is the official Center of the World.

Not according to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_the_world

Centre
Since the Earth is a near-sphere, its center (the core) is of course thousands of miles beneath its crust. However, one could perhaps consider the intersection of the Equator and Prime Meridian, located at the coordinates of zero degrees by zero, to be the "centre" of the human world, especially when viewed on a map. This point is located in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 120 miles (~193 km) south of Accra, Ghana, in the Gulf of Guinea.

Some people, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, have claimed certain cities to be the centre of the Earth or of the universe. One such claimant is the small town of Felicity, California, in the far southeast corner of the state, where a "Center of the World Pyramid" stands. Local resident and children's book author Jacques-Andres Istel convinced officials in China, France, and Imperial County, California (in which Felicity is located), that Felicity is legally and officially the centre of the world.

Surrealist artist Salvador Dali made an even more ambitious claim; that the train station of Perpignan, France, is the centre of the universe. On the platform is painted « perpignan centre du monde » (French for "perpignan centre of the world") 1.

In the 1990s, a local artist posted a sign in a neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, identifying it as "East Hills: Center of the Universe". The sign stood for years, until the construction of a new retail development at that site, named "East Hills Center (of the Universe)". Official banners throughout the business district matter-of-factly echo the claim.

I passed my second driver's test yesterday. I'll be eligible for my full "G" in a year. In the meanwhile, I can do anything a G driver does except:

1. I can only have as many passengers as there are seatbelts in the vehicle
2. I can't drink any alcohol whatsoever prior to driving

I'm supposed to try to drive at least 2 hours a day, 5 days a week between now and and my next test to try to get enough experience driving. I have to work on my "observation" skills (Left Centre Right), especially while backing up (don't just use mirrors).
