Fun Theory - take the stairs, you'll feel better



”Take the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator and feel better” is something we often hear or read in the Sunday papers. Few people actually follow that advice. Can we get more people to take the stairs over the escalator by making it fun to do? See the results here

One time I was running late to get to the gate at the airport. Took the escalator, and the damned thing stopped midway. Was stuck for hours. Missed the plane. If I had taken the stairs I would have made the plane easily.


Oh! And by the way, a fun video. R&K

I'm reminded of the aggie who drowned when the pickup truck he was riding careened into the lake. He was riding in the open pickup bed and couldn't get the tailgate open.
