Energy Crisis - Solved

For those of you with kids, you will understand this blog. Engineers and science people need to figure out how to harness the energy of 2-4 year old kids. That or make a harness for me for my 2.5 year old. Seriously, they require little fuel and the power output is measured in megawatts, for those of you that don't know - it's a lot of energy.

For those of you without kids, let me try and explain the energy of a toddler, 2-4 years old. Try drinking a Red Bull energy drink, followed by a 2-liter of Mountain Dew and eat 12 sugar frosted Snickers. That would be your appetizer in order to gain the amount of energy these kids have. No wonder parents are always tired and always glad to pawn off their kiddos on un-suspecting babysitters/suckers.

If we could harness this energy, there would be no dependence on foreign oil, there would only be a shortage of corn syrup and chocolate frosted sugar bombs. I'm pretty sure my 2.5 year old daughter could finish a pint sized Ironman race 3 times over in one day. Granted the swim would have to be 18 yards long with the assistance of arm floaties, the bike would be a 976 foot long course set up for big wheels and the run would be completing a run up the down escalator.

Now that we have the technology to capture this energy, you would think parents would spend more time trying to lower energy costs rather than exerting all of their own trying energy to get their kids to calm down and chill out.

In the end, if this cannot be accomplished, scientists should at least figure out how to convert human (mostly male) fart gas into some sort of usable energy. After that, then they can work on the kid thing.
