loop duplicate my heart

i've always wondered -- is it more efficient to slowly climb stairs two at a time, or at a more moderate pace but one stair at a time? in my personal experimentation, it seems slowly two at a time appears marginally faster, although i'm not sure which technique is more tiring. they seem about the same. do any of you doctors or pt students study this kind of stuff? write a paper on it, i'll read it.

speaking of simple excercise, is working out cumulative? meaning would i get the same results doing one pushup an hour for 10 hours as i would for doing 10 pushups in a row? i read somewhere that it's the same, but i am skeptical. the internet is full of lies. like that time i read that one of the worlds most notorious terrorist groups won a democratically elected majority in palestine.

what? that's true? oh. well, ain't life a bitch.

i'm sure the irony of the situation is not lost on our friends to the south. you couldn't have written a better story for the West Wing.

way to go jimmy carter. way to go.

not to beat a dead horse, but can you imagine what's going on in isreal right now? they must be wetting themselves left and right. i'd like to be a fly on the wall in one of those defence meetings.

"is sharon still sleeping?"
"i think he blinked yesterdy. it was on CNN"
"what're we going to do? we officially have a nation of walking time bombs now"
"lets just stop all our public transit services, and close all open street markets. then they won't know what to bomb"
"won't they just target other public places?"
"no, i bet they're too cheap to bomb places that aren't cheap or free to access. i mean, we bulldozed their houses. they can't have too much expendible income saved up"

"....wanna go to starbucks?"
"yea, it's the only place i feel safe nowadays...."
