A body at rest tends to stay at rest; a body in motion tends to stay in motion.
This is a common paraphrasing of Newton's First Law of Motion, which actually states: "The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force."
Who knew that physics could so easily explain why I would rather lie under my warm covers, reading, than clean house? And to think Physics was my least favorite subject (PE ran a close second...)

No argument here. i'm in bed now, in my footie PJs, watching Project Runway Allstars.
