Ok, this amuses me

Ever wondered how many calories you burned doing normal household activities? Well now you can find out here http://www.foundhealth.com/tools/home.html. Just plug in your stats and pick an activity. I especially recommend the "Sex: moderate effort" option. Too bad they don't have more choices like "Sex: not really trying" or "Sex: swinging off the chandeliers/going through all the positions in the Kama Sutra/seeing god effort".

Hmmm

"Sitting on my ass and driving around the lawn" burns twice as many calories as Moderate Sex? I don't believe that one... Or, maybe they really do need that "Hot Monkey Sex" category.

I'm really wondering what their definition of "moderate" is on that one. I mean using my push mower on the lawn burned about 3 times as much as sex.

Wow, I like your options better. Now where can I find a swingable chandelier...

Wait a second...how is it that *riding* on a power mower is more strenuous than sex with moderate effort? I mean, riding on power mowers is fun and all, but they don't exactly get my heart a-thumpin', if you know what I mean...
