I have no new title. But this is me in red.

1/16/05 Happy New Year. Maybe I should make some predictions for the year 2005. So I will. 1. The Colts will win the Super Bowl....why not? Wishful thinking i guess. 2. Grant Hackett, the greatest distance swimmer of all time, will loose the 1500 for the first time since he was 15. My guess is he will loose to Larsen Jensen. 3. No one will care, except swimmers. 4. Zinsser will still be a slut. Inspired by him sitting next to me. 5. Chris Stilwill will continue to be the greatest RA ever. 6. We will get Jill Boo to admit to, at any point in her life, making out with anyone, ever. 7. ummmm more to come, colts game is on. 12/25/04 So it's Christmas, and I'm attempting to update my remarkably uninteresting website when I discover that the people have deleted my website.  O, oh well. Well, Merry Christmas everyone.  Today, the update is going to be something that I've recently been tooling around with.  Below is a height/weight analysis of the men's U.S. National "A" and "B" swimming teams.  I haven't completely thought about what this means, and I think more measurements (i.e. wingspan, inseam, etc.) are  important to understand the data, the results of the preliminary results find that the "average" national team member is 6'3, 185, with a BMI of about 23.
