Is it laying or lying?
Laying in bed, wishing I had a baseball bat, or at least that there were eggs in the fridge, because that car alarm went off last night from 4:30 until 7:45 I shit you not.

It used to be that laying is when you put something down and lying is when you put yourself down, (or, really, laying is transitive and lying is intransitive) but I bet most people don't really know that any more and I hear it has semi-officially changed to "Do whatever."
This guy knows all that stuff:

That's the same link Christian sent you a couple weeks ago.
clothes lay, people lie... that's what i was always taught. (and you can't steal that, it's going to be the title of one of my books/songs/poems.) i totally relate. the building alarm on the pawn shop below us went off for 9 hours straight once. good times!
