i discovered that i can run faster backwards than forwards today.

i've always been the king of quirks.

<i>Either that or an extremely slow runner.</i>

 

[morgan terror]

2359

yes. but only forwards. in fact, i can overtake quite a few people while running backwards.

<i>But mustn't one go forward in life instead of backward?</i>

 

[morgan terror]

2361

that's just saying things in the wrong context.

<i>Then these people you overtake while running backwards as they are running forward must be very slow people who are not very fast as they run forward since you can overtake them when you run backwards.</i>

or i'm just really fast when running backwards. of course, i can't overtake the fastest of us, but i can overtake about half the class backwards. it was pretty funny to do that on sportsday. it was clocked, and i WAS faster! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=")" border="0" alt="smile2.gif" />

<i>They weren't embarrassed?</i>

 

[morgan terror]

2365

well, either they laughed, looked wierdly at me, or they tried overtaking me again. of course, the latter only resulted in me overtaking them in turn later on because they had exuasted themselves because they had to run faster. (we had to run three laps around the field)

<i>So you lapped them running backwards around a track?</i>

 

[morgan terror]

2367

no, i wasn't going THAT fast. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> what i meant that they overtook me by increasing their speed, and i would overtake them again later.

<i>I see. But they still had to run faster to try to catch up to you running backwards.</i>
