True that.

Course, he was also the best freestyle swimmer, which also won him multiple golds.

And since he was the best at both, he did won a bunch of golds for IM…

But I’m still going to be bitter because the guy was/is(?) a jackass…

There is a game in Thailand called Sepak Takraw, which you can see played a lot in parks and in villages. Kind of like volleyball but can only use your feet. I tried once, and only once!! LOL Quite difficult.

I've never tried it. I guess I'll never know whether I have a latent talent for it, which might have propelled me to international stardom. The road not taken.

I think it was Bill Gates who said we overestimate the amount of change coming in 18 months and underestimate the amount of change coming in a decade.

The comparison of Earth vs Jupiter is worse. Should we no longer call Earth a planet?
