    As I was browsing the www.athens2004.com[^], I came across this text: In 1997, Chris Leigh an Australian triathlete collapsed just 50 metres before the finishing line. He had already swum 3800 metres, cycled 180 kilometres and was just completing a 42,2 kilometre run. During the last 50 metres he was not able to walk… Poor guy! 50 meters! :( -- I'm the figure head on a ship of fools

      This was at the Hawaiian Ironman. I know him. He lost 3(?) inches of his intestines because of it and was rushed to hospital. He is an awesome athlete. And they still ran faster and faster and faster, till they all just melted away, and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted butter "I ask candidates to create an object model of a chicken." -Bruce Eckel

I've been known to stare at a screen when I'm on a coding jag for so long that my contact lenses dry out and leap out of my eyes onto the desktop when I finally do blink. Wayyyy too much coffee there...
