the degree to which people are bored, by counting the number of their
fidgets. I not infrequently tried this method at the meetings of the

successively. The counting is reserved for the fidgets. These observations
should be confined to persons of middle age. Children are rarely still,
while elderly philosophers will sometimes remain rigid for minutes altogether.
-- Francis Galton, 1909
