Talk:Pedometer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would it be too far/vandalistic if I wrote something along the lines of "A pedometer is also a fictional device used to determine one's distance from a pedophile?" Lulzatron 06:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

If you can cite it (from a Wikipedia:Reliable_sources), you can write it ;-) 74.15.65.113 (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I find it interesting that this device is called "podometer" in spanish (etymology from 'foot'), and in spanish a "pedometer" (etymology from 'child') is a device to measure the size of a child (it's a wooden board where you place the baby with a sliding ruler attached, used by doctors)
