One of the most common, yet most bizarre feelings is when
you come to the bottom of some stairs, with the expectation
that there are still more stairs.  The total mental and 
physical jolt at that moment is incredible.

I think I shall start a religion based on this.  Send me
your contribution, in Ecuadorian sucres, and I will mail
you a prayer scarf, which if you wear it, is guarenteed to
produce this feeling each and every time you go down stairs.

And for only $45,000.07, you can attend my seminar, and learn
the ancient Eskimo practices to produce that effect each time
you go UP the stairs.

stairs at a pretty good speed and about half-way down..
