Challenged ...
Mr L was reading my blog y'day, and he didn't like how I said the other day that I had beaten him at basketball :p so he's challenging me today to a rematch .. well, not really as we didn't actually play against each other properly the other day, and we'll probably only just practice our shots again today .. but should be interesting :o)
hehe I heard this story on the radio this morning about Stella the Fella, found it quite funny:
Stella Walsh was a dominant sprinter of the 1930s and 1940s, the winner of 41 U.S. Championships in various events. Born in Poland, she emigrated to America and became a high school star in Cleveland. Competing for Poland at the 1932 Olympics she won gold in the 100-meter dash. At the Berlin Olympics of 1936 she lost at 100 meters to her bitter rival Helen Stephens; a controversy followed when Walsh's supporters hinted that Stephens was too fast to be a woman. (German doctors examined Stephens and announced she was in fact female.) Walsh continued to compete as an amateur until 1954 and was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1975. Five years later she was killed by a stray bullet at a Cleveland shopping center. An autopsy surprised everyone by showing that Walsh had male genitals and both male and female chromosomes -- a condition known as mosaicism.
Well, don't really have much to say this morning - i remembered my chopsticks though :o) Ta ta for now, until next time I guess :p
