  Consider first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with passage times given
by i.i.d. random variables with common distribution $F$. Let $t_\pi(u,v)$ be
the time from $u$ to $v$ for a path $\pi$ and $t(u,v)$ the minimal time among
all paths from $u$ to $v$. We ask whether or not there exist points $x,y \in
\mathbb{Z}^d$ and a semi-infinite path $\pi=(y_0=y,y_1,\dots)$ such that
$t_\pi(y, y_{n+1})<t(x,y_n)$ for all $n$. Necessary and sufficient conditions
on $F$ are given for this to occur. When the support of $F$ is unbounded, we
also obtain results on the number of edges with large passage time used by
geodesics.
