Really, Kelloggs
Seth Myers on Kelloggs and the Phelps Bong controversy.
Priceless quote – “If your kids argue why can’t they smoke pot and Phelps can’t? The appropriate response is, you can AFTER you win 12 gold medals for your country.”
By the way, some Indian readers might be confused by why smokin a Bengali is such a [...]

Tough Guy Challenge 2009 Photos
Amazing photos from what they call the “the safest most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world” called the Tough Guy Challenge. Why ‘Tough Guy’ when I can see at least one woman in the pictures or is it generic as in ‘hey guys’? I love the guy in the Borat [...]

The Real Final Medal Tally
The 2008 Beijing Olympics finally concluded with yet another show of pomp and grandeur. So how did these Olympics fare compared to the others? As the BBC Olympics blog put it best, “there are really 204 different Olympic Games every four years – one from the perspective of every country taking part.” So for China, [...]

Rules of Celebration post-Olympic Victory
Olympic athletes train for a long time before it comes down to mere seconds in their respective races. Usain Bolt has been a phenomenon at the Post-Phelps 2008 Beijing Olympics and thanks to his cool Jamaican attitude, is also a crowd favorite.

“Michael Phelps is the new Chuck Norris. And Chuck Norris is fine with that.”
Michael Phelps at conception
Before Usain Bolt smashed those world records in 100m and 200m with astonishing ease, Michael Phelps and his record eight Olympic golds were the talk of the town. Of course, there were a couple of close shaves but Phelps literally demolished his opposition and now promises to return albeit with a less [...]

Will they deport Henry Cejudo’s mom?
Although we have had an overindulgence of sappy Olympics background stories, this one is genuine. Henry Cejudo, 21 son of an undocumented migrant or like some like to call them, illegal aliens has just won the gold for the U.S. in the 55-kilogram wrestling event. His immediate reaction – “The United States is the land [...]

Comparing Medals Tally at the Olympics
Winning Olympic medals has been all the rage in recent times as more and more nations have managed to win medals. Of course, thanks to global realignment and de-colonization, it helps to have more nations with almost 205 participating in the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The top nations in the medal count has remained largely constant [...]

Please Stand for the National Anthem of…
After the amazing interactive medals count map for the Olympics, The New York Times collects and links to national anthems of 27 different nations that have won gold in these Olympic Games [via]. It’s so damn pleasing to see Jana Gana Mana in the list.

Swimming World Records – Dime a Dozen
I’m still hoping to see a swimming final in the Beijing 2008 Olympics where a world record is not broken. World record are not broken by a millisecond or so which is usually the case but in some cases by as much as four seconds. In one race, the top five swimmers (4×100 relay) broke [...]
