9/8     Nearly the saddest thing I've ever read.
        http://csua.org/u/47e  (netscape.com site)
        \_ Wow, playing counterstrike and warcraft
           now counts as exercise.
           The walking bits gets me. Why is walking
           consider moderate excersize?
           \_ THAT gets you? What about the purposeless wandering?
              \_ I dunno, I can purposelessly wander pretty damn fast.
              \_ cool, my life is "light exercise"!
        \_ I dunno, can anybody find the document that article used as a
           source? The most likely candidate I could find was this:
     http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/pdf/PA_Intensity_table_2_1.pdf
           which makes it seem to me like that article is a gross
           exageration.
           \_ Of course the article is crap.  It isn't mainsteam media's job
              to inform but to create new and manipulate popular opinion to be
              more in line with what the reporters and their editors want you
              to believe.

4/26    Is it correct to say that Godel's work on the incompleteness thm
        proved the Principia Mathematica wrong?
        \_ It didn't exactly prove it wrong; it proved that the true goal of
           PM (a complete and consistent set of mathematical truths)
           is unattainable.  -tom

                       market goes up 20%, which it inevitably will, sooner
                       or later. How are you going to decide to jump back in?

4/17    Just a thought.  Say we select a small percentagle of the population
        (e.g. 100000 people) with representations from all walks of life
        (scientists, engineers, doctors, chefs, plumbers, nannies, ...) except
        bad guys, transport them to a distant earth-like planet with abundant
        natural resources, and take away all man-made objects (machines,
        clothes, books, medicines, all tools, ...)  How long will it take for

        Mad-ant disease!
        \_ Now that is cool. And by cool I mean totally rad. Wicked. Almost

        \_ HOLY SHIT I've been drinking from the bottle since I was

All of these activities that fill a typical American day now officially count as exercise. None other than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. But here's the pathetic news: Even when such commonplace activities as sweeping the floor and playing with the kids are counted as exercise, fully 55 percent of American adults still do not get the recommended minimum amount, which is 30 minutes a day, four times a week. The CDC decided to count everyday activities as fitness activities because it was believed that only counting intense exercise--jogging, lifting weights, swimming--was not an accurate measure. Under the old measurement, 74 percent of adults didn't get enough exercise. When we count tossing that Frisbee or sweeping the crumbs off the kitchen floor, the number drops to 55 percent who don't exercise enough. Kentucky has the lowest percentage of people who exercise 30 minutes a day, four times a week, while Wyoming has the most. These activities count as moderate exercise: * Walking at a brisk pace * Ballroom dancing * Playing in a marching band * Shoveling snow * Scrubbing floors * Washing windows * Vacuuming * Tossing a Frisbee * Playing with the kids * Raking the lawn * Waiting tables These activities count as light exercise: * Making photocopies * Playing video games * Coloring * Sitting in a whirlpool bath * Floating * Purposeless wandering * Shooting a pistol * Yachting * Fishing while seated * Light office work Just think how many calories you burned reading this story!
