Fat Power

It's only 2:30 and I have already eaten today:
1) A piece of strawberry pie.
2) A homemade doughnut.
3) A barbeque chicken dinner.
4) homemade ice cream with strawberry topping.

(I was at the MCC Relief Sale, or, as we refer to it at church, "getting fat for Jesus.")

Speaking of fat, I think I may have solved the US energy crisis. You know how everyone's always complaining about how fat Americans are? And how we need clean sources of energy that don't ruin the planet?

Well, why not turn human energy INTO electricity? We eat food, and instead of sitting around letting it fill up our fat stores, we go and pedal a bike, turn a crank, run on a treadmill, or otherwise burn calories while powering our homes and businesses.

Want to get on the internet? Start turning that crank.

Kids want to watch TV? Tell 'em it means two hours on the treadmill.

Feel like you need to turn on the AC? Well, after eight hours of pedaling you can be cool for an hour. Still think it's really a good idea?

I can't find anything wrong with this plan, other than we're all too lazy to do it, of course, and it would be a giant inconvenience. But I'm keeping it in mind as a backup.
