About 'second winds' and public urinals...

Have you ever noticed how we generally feel sleepy after dinner. Say around 10 30. Then once you get thru that drowsiness, you can stay awake till 2am effortlessly.

If you feel hungry and not eat, the hunger dies down. Then you feel hungry for a second time. This time its for real. This is when even Atish food is lovely!

Marathon runners are supposed to get a high while running. This is what pulls them through the whole race. This is the ‘runner’s high’

I wonder whether, when you are working, and feel very tired and still continue, do you get a second wind? I think so…

Why do we have this? Why aren't we biologically programmed to do whatever we are till it is no longer REALLY possible?

On a random note, is it totally pointless to wonder whether the distribution of people at public urinals is spatially Gaussian? :P

Why punks,it is not at all pointless to think about distribution at urinals.As you will notice it is a question of fundamental importance
in Queueing theory @ public urinals.
A study was conducted at Urinarsity of Uran in which
data was gathered about the social behavior at public urinals.They concluded that
it sure is a poission process (and not Gaussian).They have published many scholarly papers in that subject.They even have a fullfledged Research department (since you seem to be very much interested you can apply for an internship there this summer.The perks include free access to any urinal in their area.)

LOL
