Olympic News: French 200-meter breastroke gold medalist disqualified for being robot.

French 200-meter breastroke contestant Ferinand Delone was disqualified after judges determined that the reason for sparks flying out of his ass mid-race was that he was actually a robot.

Lyndon Ferns of South Africa gets the medal instead.  "YEAH!  I win now!  YEAH"

Best Olympic Quote so far: Yao Ming (China) on losing the basketball game agaist Serbia & Montenegro. On his bursting out in frustration during the game Yao said:  "An old Chinese saying goes, 'If you don't burst out from silence, you fade into it.'"  Classy guy.  Not sure what it means, but classy guy.

Take On Me

"Hi.  Nice to meet you.  I'm Donald Trump.  I'm cool like Aha from the 80's.  And you must be, FIRED!"

On Donald Trump; from this week's Economist:
"Anyone who understands the realestate business understands the real-estate business understands he fails, but who understands the real-estate business?" says Gregg Slotnick, a commercial real-estate broker in New York.  Indeed, the irony of tthe Trump Hotels bankruptcy is hard to miss.  Yet, viewed in another light, it does prove that Mr. Trump truly is in a class by himself.  After all, anyone can tout the fact that they are a brilliant businessman if their businesses do brilliantly.  It takes a true genius to do so, and do so convincingly, when the results say otherwise.

Check out the Apprentice Web GAME (that's me!!!)

French Robots Weigh In:

"Yes, no need for the disqualification.  That diqualification was a tragic sacrifice."

"We know Trump and he is a distinguished gentlememan.  But sacrifice to failure is like a fine Bordeaux, only less full-bodied and bitter.  Please watch us in September on your tele set, as we have applied to be on The Apprentice Season2."
