Oh boy, folks on Twitter must have shaken their heads in disbelief overnight, when they caught site of a caption in a tweet that boldly screamed out:
"David Beckham breaks world record for the Butterfly Stroke relay!"
Quite an athletic feat, alright.
No wonder the media darling wasn't in the sweaty locker-room lately rough-housing with Galaxy soccer studs.
Unpredictable Becks must has been off boning up on his butterfly stroke at the local "Y".
Uh-huh!
I was stunned, too, when I spied the caption touting Beckham's skills in water sports.
The snippet was almost as intriguing as the expose published on Zimbio at dusk last night which hinted at an alleged love affair between superstar Tom Cruise - and uninhibited Becks - who appears to have a kinky underwear fetish.
What would Scientologists make of these odd bedfellows, do 'ya think?
Curious twitter folks who clicked on the Beckham link were doubly surprised, no doubt, when the post they were transported to at breakneck speed was a news flash about Olympic Gold Medalist - Michael Phelps - who broke the world record for the "Butterfly Stroke" relay at the U.S. Competitions in Indianapolis Thursday, July 9th (2009).
The post - on the Phelps breaking news penned (by MOI) shortly before I logged off around 7 o'clock last evening - was published on three web sites with a correct caption and an accurate reference to Michael Phelps.
As fate would have it, during a google search bright and early this morning, I stumbled across the bizarre caption, unexpectedly.
Needless to say, I was a little shaken (and stirred into action) by the glitch.
Uh-huh.
Today, I am scratching my head.
Did some gremlin, or mischievous hacker on the Internet, tamper with the twitter caption for reasons heretofore unknown?
Or, was it a sign?
Although sentient beings vainly imagine they are in control - especially with regard to intelligent machines created to better mankind's lot - it's crystal clear the unexpected may occur at any given moment and underscore with certainty - that is truly not the case.
Albert Einstein once opined:
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."
Phelps, like Becks, into provocative posing!
