The hall below my former quarters at MIT built a USB-controlled Dance Floor--pretty nifty (video here. Go First East!
Also, my predisposition to shaking my leg is genetic and shared by 15% of the US population. Ah...one step closer to "normal."

Yeah, but RLS affects people when they're sleeping, not when they're just sitting around for too long. :P
My 'rents did complain that when I was two and slept in their bed that I kicked them...but I haven't heard any recent reports along similar lines.
I'm churning away with both legs at the moment...I wonder how many calories a day I burn by doing this?
Not to rain on your parade, but you definitely do not have Restless Leg Syndrome. You're just a jittery guy--you don't have RLS. Liz Kelly, of washingtonpost.com online chat fame, suffers from RLS and recently wrote an article about it. On a brighter note, I shake my legs all the time (I usually prefer my right leg, but sometimes my left leg joins in on the fun too) and I consider myself exceedingly normal. :)
Well, the Post article mentions 7% of the US population suffers from RLS, but the Yahoo story says 15%. Perhaps the definition of RLS is ambiguous--certainly I don't have the type that Liz Kelly wrote about. Though this is yet another reason not to take up coffee -- I'm already being described as "jittery."
Chu, that's where I learned about RLS too. Liz is famous! -j.
