What is this line for?

Queueing, queueing and more queueing... we seem to have a world-class set of people who queue in Vancouver right now!

Forget the Olympic events - the queueing for those events is expected - it's the queueing for everything else that's amazing.

Early in the morning, people queue to take the zip line across Robson Street. People don't start going across until 11am, but the lineup starts many hours earlier. According to what I've heard from volunteers who work around the zip line, if you go between about noon and 1 pm, the lineup is much shorter! Everyone who was scared off by the morning lineup has given up, and everyone who was in the lineup has done the zip line! Then the rest of the day builds to one solid line! Talk about stamina! Go queuers go!

The there's the Olympic cauldron queue. It's an interesting sculpture, and has been the source of a story for media world-wide - with the fence that blocked the view, then the overnight alterations to the fence to improve the view, then the opening of a viewing platform in a close building for an even better view... and another opportunity for world-record queueing!

"It looks like they're building a pyramid!" Is a comment from one Vancouverite who was running on the seawall when they looked up at the zig-zagging lineup up the hill to get to see the cauldron. That's got to be a world record, not beaten for about 5000 years! Gold medals for everyone!
