[ WP ] Someone is running , the heavy panting and sweat soaked shirt indicated that s/he had been running hard for quite some time .

“ There ’ s the treadmill ” The scientist said, pointing out the giant, unmissable conveyor belt beyond the glass wall to all his new interns. “ And behind the treadmill is the pit ” the scientist pointed to the distant half of the room. “ We fill the pit with alligators and place the test subjects on the treadmill, and every hour we make the treadmill move a little faster. The experiment doesn ’ t stop until every subject has fallen into the alligator pit ”. 
 
 “ That ’ s horrible, professor, what in god ’ s name is this supposed to prove? ” 
 
 “ That people don ’ t like treadmills ” The scientist replied. He paused for a second before adding “ or perhaps it proves people don ’ t like alligators. Who knows, we ’ re still trying to work out another experiment to find the point of this one ”. All of the new interns jotted down the scientist ’ s response, to serve as a note-to-self about never volunteering for any treadmill or alligator related things in the future.
