There are mystery stairs at the school where I teach. They look like ordinary stairs. They feel like ordinary stairs when you step on them. The mystery is that no matter how physically fit you are, you end up winded and "feelin' the burn" after climbing just two flights. Honest.
Yesterday, I was chatting with some fellow teachers and they were going to take the elevator. I figured I'd go with them even though I usually take the stairs. When I walked to my room, I realized I didn't have that shortness of breath and strain in my chest. Hmmmmm..... Elevator? STAIRS!!! Or, lack there of. Interesting....
Is it the distance between each stair? The material of the staircase? The air quality in that stairwell (one friend commented that she can do one set of stairs but not another)? Weird, huh?
Maybe the school should station a monitor/trained CPR specialist in that stairwell. If you're ever at my school, avoid the middle staircase!!!
Movie of the Day: Wayne's World. "No playing Stairway to Heaven" but you can sing along in the car!

The middle stairs are evil. The end stairs are regular, law-abiding stairs. The middle ones ... not good.
Why pay for an eletricity bill when you can suck the energy out of people climbing stairs? They'll never know!!
Ah, Wayne's World. Great movie.
