I love xkcd... but come on, it took me about 3 seconds of reading today's xkcd comic to realize that the premise is fundamentally broken. Why wouldn't Rob just write definitely for real? It's the same damn length! What gives?
Lame!
When I first wrote about Lynn running Doyle's Road Race, I promised that I'd shortly share the conclusion I came to while watching the runners finish the five-mile race. Now's that time.
As I watched the runners approach the end of their journey, as I witnessed them expending final bursts of energy and leaning towards the non-existent tape, as the sweat dripped from their brows and their sneakers pounded the pavement, one thing became clear: these people are crazy! This isn't a stroll in the park; they're not smiling broadly and whistling a happy tune as they wrap up their morning jaunt. Rather, they're experiencing all kinds of pain, agony, suffering, and just plain insanity!
If you don't believe me, just take a look for yourself:
