hilarious (and useful) calories burned website

alaskagrown

I was looking for a calories-burned estimate for my weekend work at a farmer's market-- several hours of standing, bagging stuff, moving boxes, and taking money-- and found this weird list of "Standing Activities," some of which cracked me up. I chose to estimate my work as "camping involving standing, walking or sitting, light- to- moderate effort." I love some of these. Who knew?!
