Speaking of feet, NBC is broadcasting the Olympic Women's 20K Race Walk right now. It is the craziest thing to see. These women walk a faster mile than I run. But their posture is absolutely bizarre. If you could put footage of these women next to Jim Carrey's Ace Ventura, you'd see a strong resemblance (in the walking, of course).
Man, what a stupid movie.

I love that the Olympics is a showcase for the world's wackiest leisure activities. Ping Pong and badminton, for instance. Shuffleboard, air hockey, billiards, horseshoes, rockpaperscissors, and competitive ouija will all eventually get their due, I hope. I also saw some of that speedwalking competition and it was followed by what looked like a "rhythmic gymnastics" practice session. This gymnast looked like he was getting really dizzy because of all the G-forces he was subjecting himself to in his efforts to create a medal-worthy routine while spinning around with a ribbon in his hand. It is really a very beautiful sport and truly one of the most difficult physical and mental challenges that a human can undertake.
