As a kid, my buddies and I used to compete with each other seeing who
could shoot dragonflys out of the air with a sling-shot or BB gun.

Doing it with howitzers would not have made it a better competition.

Why run marathons when you can hail a cab or take a bus? How stupid is
THAT?


So, you're saying the reward is in the finesse? The ability to finesse
inferior technology and like it? Be satisfied with it? I just don't have
standards that are that low.

And, I agree with you on running marathons - pretty stupid. Any sane athlete
pedals a lightweight, aero, race bicycle. That's where the money is. That's
where true physical fitness and stamina is developed. That's where the
respect and glory is. That's where real men compete.

So, you stink at archery, too?
