Document Summary
"we can think of the body as a device that operates on simple mechanical principles, that needs to be fuelled and that uses up this fuel as it is driven harder. The car has an engine at its centre and the body has a heart. In both cases there are many moving parts. For the car, and the movement is performed by hydraulics, gears, and levers; while for the human, the movement is created through muscles connected to bones. In both cases the machine, both mechanical and human, needs to be fuelled in order to operate properly and uses fuel as it operates. A car uses more fuel as it works harder, such as when it is driven at higher speeds. And you know if i play this game, i am going to die, and it"s going to hurt so much, but i"ll have the whole year to rehab"
