Yes? Let's see:
1 mile to school, one mile back=2 miles, x 5 days = 10 miles.
Walking around your house (to the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the living room, to the garage, to the bedroom): 0.5 miles a day altogether, x 7= 3.5 miles
We have 13.5 miles now. We are missing 2.5
Of course, at least once a week you have to go do something else, like ... I don't know. Looking at you post rating, when you're not at home probably you go to an internet place or cybercafe to keep on posting, but let's count any of those expeditions.... And as you mentioned a couple of movies in another thread, maybe you go either to the movies or to rent...let's add 2 miles for that....
15.5 miles
0.5 extra miles that you sleepwalk towards the computer until someone wakes you up, and there we have your "16 miles"...

Actually its 2 miles to school, 2 miles back= 4 x 5 = 20 miles - 2 miles missed for bus ride (2 times) = 16 + .5 mile to church, .5 mile back (3 times - 2 on sunday and one on friday) = 19 miles + all other walking around the house around school and every couple of weeks I go into central London for a few hours at least.

You're right.... Now we have a "surplus" of 2 miles!!!! Or maybe we can take out of the original calculation that time reserved for other activities...

That's over 16 miles then... you're rubbish at mathematics!

I said at least 16 miles, you're rubbish at reading!

But it seems on average, you actually walk at least more than 16 miles per week, so your calculations are flawed. Now if you'd said "at least 20 miles per week", I wouldn't be having this stupid conversation.

If you hadn't picked up on the "it should be more than 16 miles" then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Might I add that you started it...

Well, it's official. You've said it yourself. School+church+aroundhouse+centralLondon (more than likely to the Tower bridge to sit down and think of more threads to start and more posts to make).... and that's it! There's no merit behind you post rating...

Merit for high post count, hmmm.... I finish most of my homework at school, thus leaving lots of free time at home. But I do other things, for instance I am taking piano lessons and have to practice the things I learned. I read tons of books (starting War and Peace) I revise for tests. And I sleep And yet I still am able to have 4 hours a day on here (not counting the 30 minutes in the morning). So my high post is a result of good day planning, free time, and interesting discussions taking place in the forum. And I only post at home (well expect for a couple of times at school...)

But I do other things, for instance I am taking piano lessons and have to practice the things I learned. Worthy of applause. But I've heard that you're taking those lessons over the internet with a teacher here in PA! So that increases your count.
I read tons of books (starting War and Peace) Worthy of applause. But I've heard the other book you read is "How to Post in Internet forums while eating spaghetti"
I revise for tests. Worthy of applause. But I've heard that in between revisions you post.
And I sleep Well, you have to, so I won't applause. But I've heard you sleepwalk and post.
And yet I still am able to have 4 hours a day on here (not counting the 30 minutes in the morning). So my high post is a result of good day planning, free time, and interesting discussions taking place in the forum.
And I only post at home (well expect for a couple of times at school...)
Worthy of Applause!

very very good.... Now we're congratulating someone for posting 60 reviews a day.... man! Where are those times when you congratulated actual achievements, like, i don't know, coming back after being kidnapped or something?
hey, I'm approaching the 2000 posts... If nobody says at least "Ok ok, fair T, good" I'll feel so... I don't know.... I can't stand preferences..... (unless I'm on the prefered side)
