Pumps' Perplexities

I have come to the conclusion that the academic world is
full of "stupid" researchers.......Here is the latest piece of
"junk" science that some one's kid's tuition paid for.....

There is some guy in Australia that has concluded, after
a 10 year study, that elevator, and cars, are causing the
Australians to become obese......

Hey "stupid"......The elevator was invented in 1852 and
there have been cars on roads for about 100 years......
How come there were no obese people one hundred
years ago?.....He also claims that "fat" people are a result
of people flocking to the cities to live......Hey "stupid", they
have been doing that since the beginning of recorded
time......Don't tell me Athens and Rome were little rural
towns with only one traffic light......

People are getting obese because they are enjoying their
life, and have a lot of money to buy "bad" food......They
just enjoy eating well......Their weight problem has nothing
to do with either a vertical or horizontal people moving
device.......Pumps
