Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008)


Author of more than 100 books, science fiction writer Sir Arthur C. Clarke was the first to come up with the notion of communication satellites. One of his most famous works, 2001: A Space Odyssey, was written simulataneously as a novel and a screenplay that bore the same name. The revered 1968 film (directed by Stanley Kubrick) had inspired millions and attracted a cult following. Knighted in 1998, he had lived in Sri Lanka since 1956.

Sir Arthur C. Clarke passed away early Wednesday in Colombo, Sri Lanka. He was 90 years old.

Twenty-five? That's it?

According to Propel, its competitor's product contains 125 calories, you need
  • 492 sit-ups, or
  • power walk 2640 steps, or
  • 995 jumps
to burn that off. Porpel, has only 25 calories.

"Twenty five? That's it?" the woman says at the end?

What an idiot. Does she even know she plays an idiot in the commercial?

Cause that's 1/5 of what Propel's competitor has, you'll need
  • 99 sit-ups, or
  • power walk 528 steps, or
  • 199 jumps
to burn that off. And by the time you're done with those, you'll probably have poured down another bottle. You willing to do that?
