Listening to the radio on my way into work this morning, some hotel manager was on air talking about his hotels drive to become green telling people of the initiatives they got going. he reckons sometime last year they set up 2 bikes on which they put random cyclist who generated enough power on those bikes to run the entire hotel with air-con, lighting, temperature controlled pools and all the rest of it for a couple of days.

I'm like, dude dont talk k*k on national radio. If it was even possible why dont they do it all the time. They can pay me to come pedal for them!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs, who comes short again and again, who knows great enthusiasms; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
