Erm, It's Free And Captain Kirk Is Advertising It ..

Pedometers in your shredded wheet or whatever ..

Are they an electronic counter that tells you how many children you have mollested in a day?

Ohh, I've lost 500 calories by chasing after 7 children today ..

There is something wrong with this country

[Lou-Lou]

How do they come up with these words??

[GIDDLEPIN]

May be you attach it to the pedals on your menstrual cycle?

Ben, I think its aimed at those who dont have the figure of a heroin addict, but are somewhat stationary expect for the movement of putting fried chicken in their mouths...

as a way of encoraging them away from star trek re-runs and discovering the outside isnt that scary, and they can survive to lose a couple of calories..

Isn't it spelt differently? There is no way in hell I'm doing a search to check though.

However, it does come from the Latin word;

pes pedis = foot

pedes : going on foot, walking / foot-soldier, infantryman

Yeah, Gathered ..

But

Pediatrician - Kiddie doctor ..

Chiropodist - Foot doctor ..

Therefore

Pedometer - Kiddie counter

Chirometer - Foot counter

Slow start to the day for you dude

A bit like that Lynx advert with the "bird" counters, but with Mr Glitter and Mr Jackson in a lift instead?

You've just described my fitness regime in one (apart from the Star Trek bit)

It'll be to do with a greek or Latin origin. In Greek 'Ποδι' (Po-Thee) means foot/leg so i woul imagine its originated from that

Dunno the latin word
