From my newsfeed:
Stateline's Melissa Maynard reports on a proposed pilot program in Oregon "that would fund treadmill desks for some state workers and study the effects on health and productivity. Treadmill desks range in cost from $400 to $5,000, but the hope is that the state could recoup its expenses through lowered health care costs over the long run."
Pop Quiz (worth 25 points):
1. When I read on stgulik's livejournal today that a state government might experiment on civil servants by making them run on treadmills, my first thought was,
a) To paraphrase Paul Linde, "It's a rat race out there, and the rats are winning!"
b) Something just as funny, which I will share in the comments!
