David Beckham..broke world record for Butterfly? Hangs up cleets...

Water sports new kick for Becks

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!

Michael Phelps...breaks "Butterfly" stroke world record! Splashy strong finish

Strong finish puts Phelps into Championships in Rome

Michael Phelps broke the world record for the 100-meter butterfly in Indianapolis tonight in the U.S. National Competitions.

At the Indiana University Natatorium, he swam to a victorious close - and the world record - to beat the prior record held by Ian Crocker.

Crocker, if you'll recall, set the top speed of 50.40 in Montreal (Canada) a few years ago.

Always a strong-finisher, Phelps shaved off a sliver of the record, when he hit the wall three-tenths faster.

A strong contender was Tyler McGill (51.06) , followed by Aaron Peirsol, who lagged in their wake (51.30).

Now, it is off to Rome for Phelps!

The win landed him a coveted slot at the World Championships in Italy next month.

Michael Phelps...swimmer's pubes sexy! Scores 2 wins with little fanfare @ U.S. Competitions...

Studly Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps - the "Submarine Dude" - scored two hits at the U.S. Competitions Wednesday with little fanfare or much ado.

In fact, Phelps appeared to be a bit put-off by his performance in the overall swim of things, as he gingerly stepped from chilly waters he's not quite used to.

Yup!

Although the naughty party boy hit the wall in the 200 meter freestyle in 1 minute 44.23 seconds, the young Adonis didn't appear to be thrilled with that snail's-pace performance, one iota.

In fact, even though he beat out the competition in the 200-meter butterfly (1:52.76), Phelps was inclined to shake his head a tad - at which point he openly hinted to sports writers on the sidelines - that the golden boy was in a tizzy 'bout something.

Maybe, it's suddenly dawning on the kid, that he can't fight gravity forever.

After all, there's a bumper crop of leaner, stronger, more focused swimmers (Aaron Peirol?) breathing down his tanned toned back.

Is the hooch slowing the stud muffin down?

Me-thinks!

It's doubtful Phelps will ever go down in a humiliating fashion like Tiger Woods.

But, without focus, what good is pure speed?

The obvious display of dissatisfaction poolside may be a subtle sign that America's Olympic Hero, may be losing his grip.

News at 11!

Michael Phelps...pushes footlongs! Shrugs off old habits...

Ordering a footlong at SUBWAY conjures up naughty images now that Olympic trophy-winner Michael Phelps has signed on to promote the fast-food take-out joint - um - sandwich shop.

Moi?

I generally spring for the veggie lite on delicious Honey Oat bread, thank you very much, with a splash of tomatoes, cucumber, a slab or two of American Cheese , green pepper, and a dollop of alvacado thrown in for good measure.

For $3 bucks, 'ya can't beat it.

If Phelps has his druthers, I predict he'll dive in for the footlong cold-cut combo (maybe two, in view of the man-size proportions he was known to gobble down without hesitation during his halcyon days at the Olympics in Beijing.

Yup, a healthy snack sure to prime the studly athlete for the upcoming round of U.S. competitions on the horizon.

But, what of the ubiquitous bong that triggered his fall from grace, a scant few months ago?

By chance, is it lurking in the shadows - at-the-ready to saturate his senses with primo weed - and in the throes of a heady stupor likewise seduce the eligible bachelor with all-manner of sensual delights?

Oh, to be a fly on the wall!
