    Yes, because I fear injury in case of an accident and seatbelts have been shown to help.

    One time I was driving through town and a giant bunny waved at me.

    Nice thing about Bikram is you don't have to crank the heat in your own house.

    I though exercise in that much heat seemed silly, but then I noticed that my muscles are more stretchy when I'm hot.

    I often think it would be nice to have some sort of trained sparrow that flew around my head eating mosquitoes.

    Maybe a posse of dragon flies.

    Amen to that. If you think somebody is going to shoot you with a pistol, move! It's hard enough to hit a stationary target. One that's bobbing around is ten times as hard.
