QWOP

Last night John showed me a website http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html where you attempt with the aid of 4 keys QWOP to make an animated runner run 100 meters. Sounds simple enough in theory, but I imagine Helen Keller after 4 martinis would have just as much luck. After trying every conceivable sequence of the letters QWOP (which control thighs and calves), my "runner" always seems to be getting hit with machine-gun fire; that is, flailing around and falling backward on his ass or his head.

I think it would have made more sense if they had called the game "KRAMER".....or maybe "MEL GIBSON".
