I refuse to even comment on this one. djf


In her "Personal Health" column in the New York Times, Jane E. Brody reports 
that Stanford University exercise expert Dr. William Haskell has calculated 
that if you spend just two minutes an hour of each workday sending e-mail to 
office mates rather than walking down the hall to talk with them, you will 
accumulate the caloric equivalent of 11 pounds of body fat in a decade.
