A three-digit highway number is a spur if it starts with an odd number. (A spur doesn't reconnect to the main highway.) If it starts with an even number it's a loop around or through a city that will eventually reconnect with the main highway.

Highway numbers increase from west to east (odd numbers) and from south to north (even numbers.)
A highway number divisible by five is a major highway designed for cross-country travel.
I know with the ubiquity of GPS, these facts aren't too relevant, but I thought it was cool that there's a logic to it.

View more comments To learn why it pays off to look at the world from different angles, we contacted the author of Lazy Creativity and creator of an online community for anyone looking for resources to become a more creative person, Kyle Bernier. "At its core, creativity is problem-solving," he told Bored Panda. "No matter what job you have, problem solving is a big part of the work."
"If you search 'creativity' online you'll get different definitions, but you'll often receive information about how creativity isn't necessarily about creating something or forming new ideas, but is instead a process of drawing new conclusions by putting together pieces in a novel way.

Edit pt. 2: to answer common questions, you can use as much as you'd like, but anywhere from the same amount as the detergent to a cup will do the trick for average size loads. Add it in where you put the detergent, if there is such a place, if not, add it when the washer is filling up with water/when you add detergent.

"It's a change from the same old routine: some days it can be really hard to think about anything other than work, family, money, and all the miscellaneous stuff that needs to be done to keep things afloat. By choosing creativity and making space for it, we have moments where we're free to think about something else," the writer, designer, and all-around creative explained.

View more comments Psychologist Robert Epstein, Ph.D., highlighted that stress is a well-known creativity killer and time constraints are another. But he also said there's no real evidence that one person is inherently more creative than another, and that creativity is something anyone can cultivate. If it's something you want to try out, Epstein recommends that you:Capture your new ideas.

Keep an idea notebook or voice recorder with you, type in new thoughts on your laptop or write ideas down on a napkin;Seek out challenging tasks. Take on projects that don't necessarily have a solution-such as trying to figure out how to make your dog fly or how to build a perfect model of the brain. This causes old ideas to compete, which helps generate new ones;Broaden your knowledge.

Regular dinners with diverse and interesting friends and a work space festooned with out-of-the-ordinary objects will help you develop more original ideas, Epstein says.

"Most people use their words to describe how they feel," Kyle Bernier said. "Most greetings have a 'How are you?' attached to them. We're asked, 'How was your day?' or 'What's new with you?' Creativity is a way to express how we're feeling without having to verbalize anything or use any words."
Bernier deeply believes that the art of creating is a therapeutic act in and of itself.
