    Jump. Don't stop jumping. A trampoline makes this far more enjoyable.

    My codebank: AllRGB, Rounded Rectangle(math), Binary Server, Buddy Paint, LoadPictureGDI+, System GUID/Volume Serial, HexToAsc, List all processes and their paths, quasiString matching
    Strings(search, extraction, retrieval etc): Retrieve BBCode Link from HTML, RemoveBetween ()'s, strFindBetween(str1,str2), Insert text in HTML, HTML - GetSpanByID

    Take your calories, tie them to a stake surrounded by twigs and branches, dose them in gasoline, throw a match on them and just stand back and watch them burn.

    iSex is ok, but it's only single-player. No multi-player yet. I'll wait for the MMORPG version.

    I don't think a few minutes of exercise will burn many calories.

    You did nail the enjoyable stipulation.

    The iHike app comes with photos of the trail you choose to hike on. The best part of the hike is that the only thing moving is your finger.

    In your case you could give the iChimp a go. I won't link to it for fear of breaking the AUP.

    Eat celery. It takes more calories to eat celery than it gives you, so the more you eat, the more calories you burn. Munch out!!
