Sleep Yourself Skinny

By default, GMail puts headlines from RSS feeds at the top of the main part of the page. I never turned it off, because once in a while it will give me something interesting. This morning, it was a question from Ask Yahoo!: How many calories do you burn while sleeping?

Turns out, a lot more than I thought - 549 calories for a 160-pound person’s 8-hour nap. What I found even more interesting was that an 8-hour drive will burn 1219 calories. Suddenly, I don’t feel so bad about snacking my way between DC and Rochester.

PS: What has two thumbs and a ticket to see Death Cab for Cutie with Ted Leo & The Pharmacists? THIS GUY.

    By this logic I should be skinny with all the Rochester -> DC trips I make.
