Quote of the day

Just give me a call and I'll say something stupid:

John Whitehead, a professor in Appalachian’s Department of Economics, signed up for an exercise class as part of a Health Promotion incentive program three years ago, and has been going ever since. “As you participate, you learn more about your exercise routine and things that will help you get out of a rut,” he said. “There is also a community of people there you see most every time and that helps you get through your work out.”

Comments

Further evidence in support of my hypothesis that reporters looking for quotes call academics who blog. The calls usually involve the subject about which the academic blogs. But whatever. You're clearly inching closer to what we reporters covet the most: the "universal source," capable of offering quote on any topic whatsoever.

I'm curious what you think about the early works of Paul Gaugin.

By "community of people" I assume you mean "hot chicks."
