Heads up - F1 this weekend

On speedtv, practice/qualifying or whatever they call it tonight and tomorrow live race Saturday 7:30 PST.

I finally get my DVR and they have the race on in prime time

Why do you suppose we say "heads up" when something is about to hit you in the head? Shouldn't it be "head down". But I digress.

Go Ferrari!

I got a DVR this year just for the crazy F-1 broadcast times.

Go Scott Speed!

I'm at home (in Melbourne) watching the 2nd practice session. Murray Walker is at it already. I beleive he just said:

"With half of this practice session completed, there is half to go; that is to say with thirty minutes of this sixty minute session complete we are mid way"......the man is pure genius!

Why do people say "Watch your head" when you are entering a small doorway or something. Isn't watching your head impossible?

Garage
Why do people park in driveways and drive on parkways?
Why is it acceptable on television to say "I pricked my finger" but not "I fingered my prick"?

Ahh, life's little mysteries. . .
