For full details (quite unimportant...) its here.
Now, for some really impossible news.
Eight-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps isn't a rock star, but it was hard to tell from the piercing screams that greeted him and fellow gold medalists Ian Crocker and Lenny Krayzelburg Tuesday morning when they showed up at Northside Prep.
When they saw 19-year-old Phelps, groups of female students hung signs outside the windows that said, "Marry Me!" and "We * Phelps." Another gaggle of young admirers stood in the school parking lot, snapping pictures with disposable cameras and trying to get their swim caps, textbooks, T-shirts and magazine covers autographed. One girl went for a more personal touch, asking Phelps to sign her arm.
Phelps, who called his rise to fame when he won six gold and two bronze medals "an incredible ride," said he hopes appearances like the one at Northside attract new faces and more attention to the sport.
He said he also wouldn't mind attracting the attention of presidential daughter Jenna Bush.
"I want to meet her," Phelps said. "I hope we'll have an opportunity."
