Stand Back... It's Contagious.
I have been quite troubled recently by the inertia in my life. This statement may sound puzzling, but really, it makes sense. A body that is at rest stays at rest. I am certainly at rest. I can't seem to get enough energy to move anywhere or do anything of any real consequence. For now, I have accepted that fact.
Enter now the principle of equivalence, recognized by relativity and first noted by Galileo. The principle of equivalence says that if an object possesses inertia, then it will also possess a gravitational field.
Therefore, I am giving you all fair warning... I certainly have inertia... therefore a gravitational force... If you stand too closely... you are sure to be caught in my gravitational field. My inertia will cause you to stand still as well. My laziness will surely rub off.
It's cool though. I have enough cartoons and potato chips to keep us all happy for a little while at least. Then again, we should keep *someone* on speed-dial who isn't caught in the web of laziness... if for no other reason than to drop off daily shipments of Dr. Pepper or beer. Just don't sit in my ass-groove on the couch. I spent a long time crafting it. You could say... it's my life work.

Ha ha ha. :p Don't worry, I have my own gravitational field of laziness to share with all my friends. Maybe we should join forces!
