[BC] Flying off the shelves at a Radio Shack near you

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

That generator on an exercise bike is sold at some sporting goods stores.  I
have a friend who didnt want his kids watching so much TV so he installed
one on his TV.  The kids now have to really want to watch something.  They
dont watch near as much any more.  Then the guys wife raises hell with him
because when he wanted to watch TV he would defeat it.  She said you need to
lose 20 lbs.  Get your A$$ on the bike too if you want to watch TV.

I think the treadmill should really be tied to the grid. Wasn't there a
cartoon or something with a gym that had a big LED sign showing how many
kwh they'd produced?

One of my former business partners connected a TV to a generator on an
exercise bicycle for his wife...
