<p>Congratulations to Michael Phelps, for overcoming the odds and achieving what <a href="http://www.mg.co.za/article/2008-07-23-thorpe-torpedoes-phelpss-quest-for-eight-golds">many thought was impossible</a>!  Eight gold medals in a single Olympics!<br />

<img src="http://www.borderkingdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/phelps.jpg" alt="John Edwards - Barbarian Runner up" title="phelps" width="192" height="193" class="alignright size-full wp-image-170" />I have to admit though&#8230; after I saw this picture that at first glance appeared to be Phelps wearing a fancy dress, I just about passed him over for the award.  Thankfully it&#8217;s just Phelps wearing all the loot he plundered at the expense of the French.  Kudos to you Michael Phelps, you&#8217;re one of life&#8217;s winners.<br />

<strong>Runner Up</strong><br />

When the cat&#8217;s away (or terminally ill), the mice will play, eh John?</p>
