The sensation of motion experienced when stopped in your vehicle and not really paying attention (such as when looking at your phone while stopped at a red light) and out of the corner of your eye you see the car next to you pull forward or backward, giving you the false impression that your car is rolling. This is often triggers a brief feeling of panic and reflexive brake action until you realize what is actually going on.

Get the horizontal folkdancing mug.The Shoe Event Horizon is an economic theory that draws a correlation between the level of economic (and emotional) depression of a society and the number of shoe shops the society has.
The theory is summarized as such: as a society sinks into depression, the people of the society need to cheer themselves up by buying themselves gifts. This is usually done through the purchase of shoes. As more money is spent on shoes, more shoe shops are built, and the quality of the shoes begins to diminish. This makes people buy more shoes.
The above turns into a vicious cycle, the end result being that other industries begin to falter.
Eventually the titular Shoe Event Horizon is reached, where the only type of store economically viable to build is a shoe shop. At this point, society ceases to function, and the economy collapses, sending a world into ruin.
