In case you don't know, the first man (Tyson Gay) broke the US record for the 100m in a track meet with a time of 9.71 seconds. Unfortunately for him, the second man (Usain Bolt) beat his ass with a time of 9.58 (which is pretty crazy) in the same race. This includes the fact that Bolt started his victory celebration before finishing the race.
The hedgehog needs no introduction. For comparison, he could run the hundred meters in approximately 0.3 seconds. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Except you're not allowed to spin dash in the starting area so it would take him slightly longer.
This is true; though it's still pretty fast. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

These Jamaicans are starting to get uppity.
This was made after the Beijing Olympics (where he set a world record and essentially danced the last 20m) but it still holds true today.

I was curious to see what feministing had to say about this but they haven't gotten there yet. It is somewhat of a complex issue if you need a team of doctors to determine a person's sex. _________________ ' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. I don't think you can really say something like this is only complex because it is an edge case. _________________ ' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house.
