Use your gym equipment to power your house

What does everyone keep track of when hopping on that stationary bike at the gym?  Calories.  Everyone wants to burn calories, but have you ever thought about how many calories you can generate from riding that bike?  Probably not much, but you could watch how many Joules (note, 1 Calorie = 4.184 Joules) you are generating for your house and also how much money you are saving from your electric bill!  What motivates people more than money?

Now, move all this equipment to the gym and suddenly you have a power plant of people on elliptical and stationary bikes.  It could be the first gym that pays you.  Imagine this example:

You sign up for Go Green Gym (GGG) and you are charged a small initial fee to join, just like every other gym out there.  But this gym is different, because when you hop on one of the stationary bikes or ellipticals, you slide your membership card and it keeps track of how many joules you produced.  At the end of the year, you are given a cut of the money that you saved the gym from electric bills!

Maybe this is what we need to bring down the average weight in America, a little money motivation.

The Pill that Prevents Sunburn

Q: What’s basically impossible to do?
A: Put sunscreen on your own back.
Solution: The Sunscreen pill. This little pill is the answer to those awkward blotches red, sunburned skin that resulted from laying out at the beach and missing a few spots with that sunscreen. Sure, those spray bottle help with getting your front but your back is still impossible to reach. I have one favor to ask the person that does make this special pill, please run tests on it before putting it out on the market… this just sounds dangerous, but too convenient to pass up!
