Mission impossible

OK, there's this promotion around the state through May called Walk Georgia. (www.walkgeorgia.com).
You sign up in teams of four, and compete with others in your city or county.
Every day that you do some sort of exercise, you log on and it gives you points based on your minutes or hours of workout. The computer keeps track of individual as well as team totals.
Imagine my team's surprise today when we saw this from a person on another team:
Housework: 300 minutes
Walking, moderate: 295 minutes
Tennis, singles: 325 minutes
Translation: That's five hours of housework, more than four hours of walking and between five and six hours of tennis.
In one day.
As our paper's religion reporter, all I have to say is: Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Mom wants to know how much credit you get for typing furiously and answering wacky customer calls. She's thinking about a game called "DrinkGa"....

Hmmm I 'm thinking the other team needs a clock or a stopwatch. Or a reality check.
