My roommate is a huge Contender fan. She has had veto power every Sunday night from 8:00 - 9:00 pm for the past two months. If I want to watch TV during that time, I'm watching The Contender. If you're real keen and observant, that means that I've given up "The Simpsons" for 8 weeks now. Ok, 7 weeks, "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones was on this past Sunday. Needless to say, like anyone who starts watching one of those reality TV elimination type shows, I had to watch the 2 hour finale last night. ESPN's The Sports Guy kept a running tab on the show last night. If you saw the finale, you'll find lots of humor in his jabs at Sly Stallone.
While watching Sports Center last night there was an ad for the 2005 National Spelling Bee. It will air June 2nd. As The Sports Guy puts it, there is nothing higher on the "unintentional comedy scale" as that spelling bee. Can somebody TiVo it for me? I'll be at work when it's on.
One more sports post. But this one comes from SI. They have an interesting article on the Poker Phenomenon sweeping the country.
Have you seen the video of the bus fight? Check out the link... As a bonus, the video is not only of the fight, but it's presented by Katie Couric.
And finally, science fact of the day. As Voyager (launched in 1977) exists the bounds of our solar system, its course is off by about the distance of the earth to the moon. For 11 years now scientists have been trying to figure out this gravity problem. Possible reasons for the miscalculation range from malfunction to dark matter to misunderstandings of the fundamentals of how gravity works (possibly in extra dimensions, as theorized in string theory).
