In lieu of Andrel, I'll point out that vein's don't have pulses,

True. I was thinking veins because they usually run closer to the surface,
but now that you mention it...

Heh, well the building is real, and it does contain offices. Then again,
given that the *door handles* don't work [and you'd think it would be
pretty much impossible to get something that trivial wrong], god only
knows how broken the showers would be if we had some...
Actually, one of the girls brings a bag with her to work, and just
before home time you see her toddle off to the little girls' room and
come back looking all sporty and cute. [I probably shouldn't describe
other people's wives that way...] Still, that's because she goes to the
gym just *after* work.

In my case, that would probably result in a lot of stopping and not very
much walking.
I think I might just be walking too rigidly or something... Nobody else
has any problem with it.

I'm old. :'{
And all I can think about now is "damn, I really should have hooked up
with a girl while I was still handsom..."

My dad claims his sometimes exceeds 200 BPM. I must admit, I didn't
think that was an outrageous number until everybody here started being
all like "dude, if it hits 150 BPM you'd nearly be in a coma!"

That's fine, but it also occasionally does this when I'm sitting in the
house too. Why the heck would it do that?

Really? I would have thought you'd need a higher heart rate to pump
blood further.
Also, is that why my heart rate increases significantly if I stand up
rather than sit down?

The wikipedia article about Lactic Acid talks about why it hangs around
during intense exercise.

No no, I know all about lactic acid. But I've never heard of anybody
feeling queezy due to exercise. (Unless you've just eaten, of course.
Jiggling around a full stomach isn't a good idea.)
