Everyone's got a story.

That's the premise for PedSaid:  that everyone has a different set of eyes, ears, and senses, each going through their own individual span of time.  We've taken these stories and put them online, along with their own unique ways of telling them, down to the last "uh."

The second part of PedSaid is more scientific.  These are complete strangers--we've never met any of these people before.  They're persons in the airport, waiting through their layover;  they're vacationers at the beach, tanning in the sun;  they're going home from work, taking the local bus line.  Do people respond differently, tell different types of stories, depending on how old they are?  Does gender change anything?  How about place-of-residence?
