Too many of these "incidents" lately. Time to gather your zombie teams people!

Thankfully it seems to be contained to the US, so hopefully I've got some months to prepare for the zombie onslaught.

But, really, what is going on?

It's not They is it? It has cyborgs, supposedly.

Though, the screenshots doesn't really look cyberpunk. Or good.

That has to be illegal in at least forty-nine states.

How I see it, crazy Japanese music is bad in the best way possible, while Eurovision songs are bad in the worst way possible.

The fact that this song could win any sort of song contest just show how bad it is.

Begone with this stoner crap, psychedelia is where it's at!

"Turn of your mind, relax, and float downstream"

But, I guess Black Sabbath is pretty cool.

i understand jogging for 20 minutes but running for 20 minutes, no way

and again the burn sensation will stop you

Jogging is just running at a leisurely pace, so if you're jogging for 20 minutes you are also running for 20 minutes. As long as you're airborne for a couple of milliseconds it qualifies as running. I think too many associate running with running at around 90% of your capacity, which is a lot harder to keep up than, let's say, 70%. Just consider the difference between a sprinter and a marathoner, a sprinter runs as fast as he can for 100/200 meters while a marathoner runs at a slower speed for 42 kilometres. Sprinters pour all their strength into those few seconds, while a marathoner has to conserve his strength for several hours.

@Kidavenger: That's my kind of humor right there. And they're right, gravel is the devil.

Which reminds me: if you want to stick to those "old-fashioned" shoes, get some socks that actually fit your feet (I don't know about those super-elastic technical running socks, but at least get the right size). 'Cause if there is something worse than running barefoot on gravel, it's running (in shoes) with blisters.

Read Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. Even if it doesn't convince you to take your darn shoes off, it will most certainly inspire you to run farther.

Or just watch the guy talk about it:

It is basically about ultrarunning and how humans are still around because of our long distance running ability.

Besides the potato I'm not big on root vegetables. Is it worth getting into? Or should I stick to the nobler, above-earth, alternative?

I've got one of these "WakeLight"(TM) that gradually lights up the room. Not having to turn on the lights in a pitch dark room makes getting up much easier. I combine this with an awesome android alarm clock app called Gentle Alarm, which pretty much lets you fade in whatever alarm sound you want to. I place my cellphone across the room so that I actually have to get up to turn it off.

But the real trick: I get up at 7.00 every day.
