  1. Re:Not my choice on Wii Aches - Couch Potatoes Working it Up · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not true and honestly, unless you do manual labor for a living (lifting servers and running cable doesn't count) you shouldn't be physically tired when you get home. Okay I'm with you except for this. What I do is not physically challenging in any sense of the term. But both my spouse and I are often exhausted at the end of the day. Most people work more than 8 hours a day unfortunately, and add in travel time etc. it gets rough. I'm a 34 year old physics major doing major catch up in math & sciences (because neither were heavily required for the degree in psychology *sigh*). I'm bone tired at the end of the day, and ready to sleep all weekend (as if I could) by Friday. If I had kids to boot...yikes! All that being said, exercise helps with that kind of fatigue. It's just easy to wimp out at the end of a long day. It's incredibly easy to justify with 'I just spent 6 hours in a lab, 5 more on equations, and now I have to do pre-lab reports AAAAH' I want to veg. out.' But I like gaming. I like gaming a lot more than going to a gym, going for a walk, riding my bike (and I really like riding my bike) and more than vegging out in front of the television. I suspect the Wii Workout will be the majority of my 'exercise' next semester. Which suits me just fine if I can also get a decent workout from it to boot along with gaming. :)

  2. Re:What colour is energy? on Michigan Teen Creates Fusion Device · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Depends on the materials. Fire is energy, and can be various colors, depending on what's being reacted (burned), as well as the oxygen mix, etc. (which is also part of the fuel). Energy can be every color in the visible spectrum, as well as outside our visual spectrum (we can't 'see' radiation, but it's a form of energy). As far as what color was seen with the 'small intense ball of energy' I would guess white light, because if it wasn't, you'd assume they'd describe it with the color (IE: "small intense ball of blue energy"). But it's just a blind guess based on the wording, not the type of fusion.
