Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for August 12, 2021

Cheer up bluebird, you still have more steps than Mr. Snake…

Well, Mr. Ostrich can’t fly, so naturally he’d have more steps

Oh, yeah? Well let’s see how many flaps you’ve logged!

One ostrich step is only equal to 80 +/- little blue-bird steps…

Those things also clock how many flights of stairs (equivalency) you’ve gone. Hey little bluebird, bring up that stat.

Strap your Fit Bit to a caterpillar.

Shouldn’t the small bird have more steps in the same distance, because each step is shorter?

But bluebird has more sky miles…

Little bird should have Map My Run or Runkeeper.

My wife and I have been physically together on a vacation for the past week. We’ve done virtually everything together. We been to exactly the same places and have done exactly the same thing. We have almost literally walked in each other’s footsteps.

She has about 10% more steps than me, in spite of having longer legs.

My son and his wife are opposite and she’s the one with the longer legs.

Predators love it when you stop to play with your gadgets (especially in dark alleys).

OK I’m going to fly away from you now, feel free to follow.

Older people log more steps in the same distance as those younger.

Obviously NOT the Bluebird of Happiness!

The 10,000 steps a day “rule” is a total myth. Leave it to the Japanese to make up a marketing plan that is not true. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/newest-science-myth-the-10000-step-rule-2019-05-30

Wouldn’t it be the opposite?
