  • So you can run in it like a hamster? :)

    "Like other rodents, hamsters are highly motivated to run in wheels; it is not uncommon to record distances of 9 km (5.6 mi) being run in one night. Other 24-h records include 43 km (27 mi) for rats, 31 km (19 mi) for wild mice, 19 km (12 mi) for lemmings, 16 km (9.9 mi) for laboratory mice, and 8 km (5.0 mi) for gerbils. Hypotheses to explain such high levels of running in wheels include a need for activity, substitute for exploration, and stereotypic behaviour, but various experimental results strongly suggest that wheel running, like play or the runner's high, is rewarding in and of itself and highly valued by the animals..."

    Sounds a lot like playing an MMO.

  • Agreed, Scarlett! If we could have spinning jennys or looms as well, that'd be great.

    (Fun fact: spinning wheels were invented in the 11th century.)
