Olympic Trivia


Everyone seem to be enamored by Michael Phelps, the extraordinary swimmer who is breaking as many records as Jay Leno has automobiles.

Here is just an idea of what he has eaten for breakfast...
An excerpt from his book "Beneath The Surface"

"3 Sandwiches of fried eggs, lettuce, tomato, cheese, fried onions, and mayo. One omelete, a bowl of grits, 3 slices of french toast with powdered sugar, and wash that down with 3 chocolate chip pancakes."

Gulp...Swimming 5 hours a day may just assist a wee bit in helping him keep trim...

Surely the answer to 3 is not A because there are Chinese gymnastics involved.

I think I'm in the bitter barn.
