He moves like water - powerful and yielding at the same time

None other than the muscles from Brussels!

While we're YouTubing, a recent fave is euonym. "Is what you meaning good? Is what ana meaning name?" What the hell is she talking about?

And finally Carl Lewis exercising some weak, weak muscles.

I must pay tribute to the Sports Guy, far and away my favourite writer right now. He is the source, if indirect, for the above links, and I reckon I could make a great column pretty much ripping off his topics.

He referred today to an old column he wrote comparing Cheers and Seinfeld. Apparently today's generation doesn't appreciate Cheers, or Ted Danson's comic and acting genius. Granted he was better than Jerry Seinfeld, but that's not hard. And yes, George Costanza was the greatest character in the history of TV.

Even Seinfeld jumped the shark though. This stems from an episode of Happy Days when the Fonz somehow cleared a shark, marking the point when the series passes from greatness into mediocrity, be it by slow decline or rapid drop.
