Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you're parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you're facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you're facing down, park in reverse. If you're on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.

By the way, this isn't just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

From 1913 Webster's, to show how "far" we've come:

Pun"dit (?), n. [Hind. pandit, Skr. pandita a learned man.] A learned man; a teacher; esp., a Brahman versed in the Sanskrit language, and in the science, laws, and religion of the Hindoos; in Cashmere, any clerk or native official. [Written also pandit.] [India]

I think that's what it is, except my use of the term "block" was mostly wrong. This seems to accept them but keep them isolated, defeating their effectiveness as a way to track users across sites.
