Found an astonishing article on our running ability. As it turns out, very few animals can keep up with us in terms of running long distances. We may not be built for speed, but we can keep going far longer than almost any animal.

Read on to find out more.

What's more astonishing is that you never heard this in the three years since that article's publication.

Well, this news does not really cheer me up. I mean, we have cars, bikes, power suits, etc. Who needs to run? For a good reason? I figure the only time humanity loses our travel technology would be in the case of a zombie/robot uprising. You can walk faster than a zombie, and it doesn't matter how fast you go, robots will catch up. So... enjoy your slightly-better-than-average running ability, humans. IT WON'T HELP YOU IN THE LONG... TERM.

Fixed.
Also, in the extremely unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse, what are the chances that there will be an assload of super-zombies? I read the Zombie Survival Guide. I'm pretty sure super-zombies are the least of your worries.

Well, now that I read the description of the Media subforum more closely and see that it includes news articles, I guess it does fit. I prolly woulda just put it in the main part of the satellite lounge but whatev.
