I discovered a  new meaning for the word ‘jockey’ while skimming over this article over at the NYT.

JAKARTA, Indonesia — When this city of epic traffic jams started carpooling a while back, it inadvertently gave birth to an entirely new profession: jockey.

For less than a dollar, car owners hire one or two jockeys to gain access to stretches of the city’s “3 in 1,” high-occupancy lanes. The jockey is essentially an extra passenger who helps commuters circumvent carpooling rules, making the ride into central Jakarta slightly less slow.

Quite innovative..the human species are..don’t you think?

Speaking of innovation..the crew at Google UK has a pretty slick office…I think I’m most impressed by the Hulk being one of the staffers!
