Michael Phelps: Kicking the Swimming World's Ass

Michael Phelps is less than 6 months older than I am and he has 9 Olympic medals, 7 of which are a pretty gold color; show-off. I am admittedly not that into swimming, but it's undeniable how impressive it is. He did 'pretty well' in the 400m IM preliminaries, and kept it up to win the US' second 2008 gold medal. (The first was in fencing.)



It's funny the New York Times article where it talks about the gold medal spends about two paragraphs discussing his Facebook; crazy pop culture. Shawn@Table Salt Games exposed me to a hilarious ad with Michael Phelps and Morgan Freeman, you must check it out.



You might notice that I embedded a table of the Olmypic medal standings there in the right navbar, that's courtesy of 08:08:08. There's no way I can keep up with reporting everything I'd like to about the Olympics, let alone watching everything I'd like to, so I recommend the New York Times and YouTube.
