john, i hope you've got some speedos...

norris should have been doing work today... instead he's been devising methods to measure the density of a human being - specifically in regards to john's weight loss campaign. the idea is that muscle is 22% denser than fat, and so any changes in john's weight should be detectable via a density measurement. namely, is he putting on or losing fat or muscle?

norris has come up with an experiment we can do involving putting john in a bath and working out his exact volume. he says he'll post details on his blog later. norris and i will be the control sample. a back of the envelope calculation earlier revealed that at the moment john was densest, followed by me, followed by norris. however the calculation did assume that a human being could be modelled as a cylinder.

now that's real science.
