Irony Day 


These two links just showed up, both of them at the same time in my RSS reader. Apparently it's irony day. 

"Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby." 
 
I'll still walk when I can, thank you!  
 
(While I'm at it, I have to mention also the $1200 Swiss Army Knife Tim linked to. Don't confuse this one with a pocketknife!)
