This story has got me baffled. [link] Two pedestrians were hit by a passenger train. How does that happen? I can see one pedestrian somehow missing that a train is coming and getting hit, or multiple people in a car, but how could two pedestrians both fail to get out of the way of a train?

If a team for a project happens to be made up entirely of men, do people normally feel a need to point that out? I just did a show with an all female tech team and a few times someone brought up the "all-girl" or "all-women" thing.
And I just got a request to interview with an all-female theatre company.

Right. I asked the wrong question.
Would any of you be inclined to point out an all-female or all-non-gender-based demographic?
I can't quite put my finger why it seemed odd to me in this situation.
Is it that unusual in your profession?
