The Treadmill Workstation - Engadget - www.engadget.com

ha engadget lists some activites to show the walking thing is just okay.

chopping wood (436 calories per hour) — hunting (360 cph) — sitting (76 cph) — sex-foreplay (104 cph) — sleeping (66 cph)

so sitting at your desk gives you 75% of the benefits of walking. i wonder if that is active sitting (proper posture, etc), maybe sitting on a swiss ball? haha, foreplay on gets you 4 more calories an hour than walking SLOWER THAN DIRT. is dirt slow?

btw, this is a neat little calculator for caloric burn
calculate what you burn in minutes doing various activities

Ronald McDonald made over as fitness guru for tots - Jun. 8, 2005

In a television commercial that hits airwaves on Friday, an animated Ronald will be seen encouraging kids to get up off the couch and join him in kicking a soccer ball, juggling fruits and vegetables, and riding a skateboard with basketball star and fellow McDonald’s spokesman Yao Ming

umm, animated ronald mcdonald playing basketball versus yao. i hope they have a scene where yao blocks the hell out of ronald. that would be funny. it should be like that scene in rushmore where bill murray’s character blocks the hell out of that little kid playing basketball. killer stuff.

CNN.com - Man with sword, chain saw let into United States - Jun 8, 2005

Anthony conceded it “sounds stupid” that a man wielding what appeared to be a bloody chain saw could not be detained. But he added: “Our people don’t have a crime lab up there. They can’t look at a chain saw and decide if it’s blood or rust or red paint.”

hmm, i suppose, i mean, they did detain and question him. but still…. and wow, man, this guy looks crazy. and apparently is a little off, i mean he absolutely slaughtered people.

ESPN.com - NCF - ESPN pulls out of coaches’ poll, BCS process

my only thought on this article is “why is this an AP article?” ESPN has a news “wire” type service. why not write up their own article, rather than having the AP do it and then posting the AP article?
