Silly me! I assumed he'd take the path of least resistance to get to San Jose.

Relying on a deeper understanding of Mark's penchant for expending more energy than the task requires, Dave correctly reasoned that he would elevate the load of bull significantly before translating home.

I stand corrected.

Re: Where is Mark?

Mark was on the United flight from Atlanta to San Francisco that left early Sunday morning. I followed him as far as I could, but I did not see his destination from there.

Wow, he got from the after-party at 9 pm to San Jose and back to Atlanta in time for a sunday morning flight? That's impressive, I think we need to adjust his estimated velocity!

There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was much faster than light;
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night!

(ca. 1950s, anthologized by Bennett Cerf)

Fueled by 4 oz/sec of Red Bull, Mark might have a chance to catch Ms. Bright!

Re: Where is Mark?

I think there is a lot of conjecture in this post. I definitely saw him on the Einstein field congratulating the Champions and the Chairman's winners. I think in their enthusiasm, Thunder Chickens packed him in the crate with their robot. I am guessing he is somewhere in Ohio at the moment.

However, Big Mike was down there hugging Paul again and Mark could have been caught in the fallout. Having been mistaken for blue confetti, he could have been swept up into a big pile and is now in an Altanta landfill.

Re: Where is Mark?

he rode on the same plan as my team. before the flight he walked up to us and talked for some time about math and physics (like he always does). he had one bag. i doubt he could have checked that many pounds of redbull. he sat next to our driver. i noticed that he walked up and down the isles several times for some reason (not going to the restroom. i'm talking, he went behind the last row and came back to the first row). could have been because of the mass quantity of redbull consumed.

Re: Where is Mark?

Mark has hidden stashes every where. I asked him last year what they tasted like and he told me (sorry I think it might be bad to post comment here). He then produced a can for me to try. Next day after 4 Red Bull I was almost at the same speed as Mark. I also found out that a guy my age should not start by consuming 4 cans.

By the way Mark is probably kicking that trailer ahead of him. That way the cans are closer to get with less effort. This allows more energy to be used positively. It's all in the math!
