    2012 Summer Olympics Discussion

    I'll admit that I enjoy the hell out of the Olympic games. Nothing like watching the best athletes have the time of their lives, going for the gold.

    Love the swimming competitions. What do you think of Phelps? Has he fizzled out, or will he take a few more medals home?

    I learned yesterday that the shuttlecock is made of a cork tip with 16 goose feathers surrounding it and the cork is covered with goat skin.

    Phelps hit #19 - very impressive. Being called the most decorated Olympian in history - he's not ever going to have a problem picking up chicks
