Children taking part in a study to measure how much exercise they do fooled researchers by attaching their pedometers to their pet dogs.


Made me smile initially but the eventual true findings are really depressing.:(

pedometers are so rubbish anyway, you can just shake them and they count a step! oops:

That explains how some men have overdeveloped forearms. Try to fool the pedometer by constantly shaking them. :erm: Does that cause hair growth on the palms of hands too. :angel:
