Oh come on!

Puhleese, you're telling me people are incapable of dancing when an upbeat piece is played, or some musician carrying his trumpet might bust out a duet, etc, and that it's all staged.

What are people like to you, a bunch of passive people who just stand around?
 
Driving withut due care and attention is the charge in the UK, you probably wouldn't get charged eating a cookie but as you said if you were being a dick about it you are just asking for trouble.

You would probably get charged...

It comes down to the discretion of the police and in the past a motorist has been fined for eating an apple while driving and feasting on a Kit Kat.

Deliberately baiting the police won't work in your favour.

See how long it takes for that to happen and then imagine paying people to watch, wait, and listen in shifts. People walking by with horns to play are often going somewhere. I don't know about you, but if I had enough time to break out my trumpet and jam, I probably would have done so before leaving.

People in those places are people on a schedule.

It's a train station. Not everyone gets there at the last minute. Not everyone who arrives need to be at their destination right away. I don't see how you can make such sweeping generalizations and use that to determine something like this is fake.
And it's not everyday you see a piano playing itself that reacts to you. That alone would likely pique enough interest in a musician to bust out the trumpet.

Anyways, this is silly to argue over.
 
My guess is Florida or Australia.. god !@#$%^&* equator. You don't see anything this hideous on land at the north pole.
It looks like a waterbug....but I don't know if they can fly.


That's the sort of thing that helps me through the crappy winters: Most critters like that are wusses when it comes to temperature.
(I think it snowed here every day this past week. Around 4" fell today.)
 
So....where does this little horror live?

Looks like a toebiter.

They live all over the place, usually near fresh water.

edit: hah jeff7 posted first (toebiter = giant waterbug)
I was also unaware they could fly, but not really surprised since it's an aquatic true-bug (aquatic insects usually disperse by flight; a lot of true-bugs can fly)

Also insect flight usually requires the wings to be warmed up to a certain temperature (apparently 15C/60F) (they may flap their wings to warm them up), thus adult insects usually don't fly in the winter 😛. Like most animals/plants, the number of active and/or living insects is lower during winter 😀.

temperature vs insect flight
http://www3.nd.edu/~ematlis/z.stuff/effect_temperature_insect_flight.pdf
apparently <11C (~50F) = almost no flight; except for nocturnals/moths; dependent on species
