Yet another random question that I was curious about. Obviously everyone here is either physically fit or well on their way, but do you consider yourself to be an athlete? What do you consider an athlete to be?

I hate to be Conan the Grammarian here, but this is one of my pet peeves:
"Begs The Question" is not the same thing as "raises the question." Begging the question is a logically flawed argument that raises unproven assumptions. "When did you stop beating your wife?" is an example.
Sorry. I had to intervene. For the record, I consider myself athletic, but not an athlete. (Howzat for splitting hairs?)
