Er, yoga doesn’t make the list

Here’s the latest on the goofy side; gyms claim they can make energy

All poor Einstein did was create a few energy laws. Humans have found utterly goofy ways to make it PR news. The Independent and New York Times document the existence of agencies who believe that the energy problem of the world rather than having its solution in coal, water, wind, or nuclear sources, has a readymade answer inside the modern gymnasium. Over more than a century, humans have spent billions of dollars, have devoted billions of hours of hard work, and even thousands of lives to build huge dams, thermal power stations, nuclear plants, wind mills to produce power, a quintessential hallmark of a civilised society. Little did they know [sic!] that the same electricity could be produced by exercise bikes, rowing machines and tread mills that would convert kinetic energy to electrical energy!
