In Atlanta at least, the only moving sidewalks in the airport are only used if the tram that takes you to your terminal is down. Otherwise the tram is 10x faster to take.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

Not only that, but if you walk on the moving walkways in the direction that they're moving, you get to the end of the hall about twice as fast.

I'm glad that my local airports finally removed the automated repeating message, "Caution: The moving walkway is ending." Did it ever help anyone?

The moving walkways are good because you can lean casually against the handrail (assuming that it has one, every airport I've been to has). You need not sacrifice any of your suave by attempting to WALK.

Now it's 744.

Are you HAPPY NOW?!
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Now it's freakin' 780. This is scary. :shock:
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Why does it need to make hundreds of bot accounts? Why not just make one and use that to pilfer the email addresses? It'd be much less obvious...

Edit: Though I have to say, some of these names are hilarious. Such as Edna Pickles. :-P

But what's the point of them? They move at walking speed, which defeats the purpose! "Oh, look! I can WALK, or ride this horizontal escalator that moves at the same speed as WALKING!"
When you walk on something moving as fast as you can walk you travel twice as far in the time it normally would take you while walking. Same with escalators. Also, people are just lazy and don't want to use their feet to walk.

Also, omfg bots. Any more and we might drown!
