I notice I can do quite a few more push-ups when I'm pissed than normal. (And that's the only reason I'm calm now. ) What is it about being pissed that makes you have more stamina?

Actually this chemical cocktail also gives you greater acuity and senses.

And even intelligence. It's well known that rigorous exercise is good for the mind.

So I say to thee - "MORE WEIGHT"
