"Eat lunch or BE lunch". -S. McNealy

I noticed that Bill doesn't look very healthy lately. He seems kinda fat and flabby. Scotty looks MUCH healthier. I think Scott is being invited more places than Bill. Bill may be spending too much time on-line.

Speaking of too much time online (as if we don't), my neighbor's concubine (Quannah) spends more time online than he'd like. Recently, he brought her home an old style exercise bike with the front wheel resistance adjustment knob, hoping she'd break away from AOL long enough to start exercising on the stationary bicycle.

This is where I come in.

Here's the plan (and although I haven't entirely worked out a schematic, I think I have all the parts for this in my basement): We're going to mount a bike light generator on the bike that feeds a battery (or not) and then that feeds a voltage converter, which in turn feeds ...<drumroll>...her external MODEM. Then we just mount the keyboard up on the handlebars. If Quannah stops peddling, she loses the AOL connection. Instant motivation! What do ya think?
