Eh? That must depend on the age of the river. And the softness of the terrain it travels through.

*searches*

Ok, so the average of all rivers approaches pi.

Now go and be equally picky with xen's factoid

Wouldn't it look like two bells with most people having two feet?

Do you stand on every step with both feet?

True, but not /accurate/ maths.

The only pickiness I can manage there is... oh, actually there's quite a lot!

Xen, stop uttering rubbish!

Does everyone stand on the same step with the same side foot?

No, I don't. But I'm thinking that dwarves might.

No idea.

"Wow, I thought KG showed up for a second!"

 

Yeah, I borrowed his sig' graphic.  I'm sure he periodically lurks, then thinks to himself "this place is like a den of wild ferrets" or some such thing. :D

*Feral ferrets.

Not because it alliterates, but because ferrets are a domestic animal so you don't get wild ones :Y

"I expected that to come from Truffy".

You know how us gun-crazed Americans are.  If nothing else, we're quick on the draw. ;-)

"Feral ferrets.  Not because it alliterates, but because ferrets are a domestic animal so you don't get wild ones"

 

If you want to be pedantic about it, wild ferrets are properly known as "polecats", although they're in the canine family.

Go sit at the top of some stairs and watch people as they arrive at the top.

For added fun, record the rough position of each foot for their last three steps, then plot this for each foot and the combination of feet and see what you get.

Then, go to somewhere with old worn stone steps and repeat.

Except when you've got a sticky doughnut in your hands. :P

"Except when you've got a sticky doughnut in your hands".

 

Hey, that's not a donut!  It's a bit too tubular, and not yet sticky! :P

You go do that, you're the one without a 9-5 job!

:-O

 

And I thought you just came with plastic underpants and a trademark.

I don't have any graph paper. :(

But you have a netbook with a suitable spreadsheet/chart making piece of software.
