Trivial Pursuits

I'm procrastinating a bit right now, so I figured I would just blather on about a random observance of meaningless drivel I've noticed.

I've been going to the fitness centre here on campus, not because I want to make good use of the 95 pound fee I had to pay for full membership status, but mainly because I don't want to end up looking like John Goodman, John Candy, or George Wendt (Norm from Cheers). It's interesting because I have noticed that the proportion of the population over here that is obese seems to be much smaller than back home. However, that being said we Americans, based on my "infallible" statistical inferences; seem to win in the humongous dudes at the gym category. Simply put, I haven't seen any overgrown monsters, meatheads, or big dumb animals. Of course, I haven't associated with the rugby team, but overall I get the impression that the English aren't as into "getting huge" or "yoked" as many Americans. The English are more into burning off the calories from the pub the night before, and being pale, slender anglicans who listen to club music.

If ya don't know, now ya know...
