I've always thought that we could solve our nation's energy and obesity problem in one go by putting fat people in shag-rug jumpers and making them run in giant hamster wheels.



You'd do much better with marathon runners.

That would depend on whether or not there's anybody else in the room with you. Though the answer to the question you were attempting to ask is yes, naked Apnea.

I'd say that there are at least four orders of magnitude more obese people than there are marathon runners which means that the marathon runners would have to work on average at least 10,000 times as hard as the the obese people.

Why not forego the shag jumpers and just hook the hamster wheels up to generator turbines?
