New Poll!

YES! I've finally survived through the worst part of the exams!

Ahem. Ok. I've closed the poll for Who do you think Michael Phelps is a good match with? and the results are as follows:

Out of 266 people involved in the poll:

Lindsay Lohan: 2%
Carly Patterson: 12%
Liv Tyler: 1%
A typical American girl: 22%
ME!!!: 60%

Oh well. So in order not to make D.U.H options that everyone will definitely choose, I've made this new poll on Which part of Michael Phelps are you attracted to most? more challenging. Jean the secretary asked me "Why don't we have another option: All of the above?" The answer is NO! We've got to make this interesting! So start racking your brains to choose your favorite feature!

News.

Pool sharks: Fresh from the Olympics, medal-heavy swimmers Michael Phelps, Amanda Beard and Natalie Coughlin visited Speedo's Garment District showroom to help the company kick off its new Axcelerate active sportswear line. While best- known for its swimwear, Speedo is moving into the gym and athleisure market. Beard and Coughlin modeled Axcelerate keyhole sport tops, shorts and zip jackets from the line that will be in department and sport specialty stores in the spring, while Phelps wore a prototype T-shirt and pants from the men's line to debut later next year.

About the nickname thing that has been going on, it is actually something that has been going on since 2nd September to get a nickname for Michael Phelps. Something to match with stupid names like "Thorpedo" (What kind of name is that?!)

In the September 2nd article, the ideas that came up were:

"Flying Fish" Phelps
"Phlying Phish" Phelps
"Phlash" Phelps
"The Phin"
"The Fin
"The Phish"
"Mighty Mike"
"Metabolic Mike
"Medal Man"
"The Towson Pterodactyl"
"Low Rider"
"Hips"
"The Physique"
"Provocatively-Peeking-Pelvis Man" (what the...)
"Flamin' Phelps"
"Bam Stroker" (reason: since Michael Phelps, like Dracula, causes women to swoon in his presence)
"The Archangel"
"Greasy"
"The Phantom of the Aqua"
"Greece Lightning"

The whole report is here!

For Michael Phelps' reaction to them, its here. Its really funny!
