Some Stupid Woman Ends Her Stupid Swim



"Endurance swimmer and record-holder Diana Nyad arrived in Florida Tuesday morning, but not in the manner she hoped. The 61-year-old arrived in Key West aboard a boat, hours after abandoning a 103-mile swim from Cuba to Florida at about the halfway point.



She had attempted to become the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida without a shark cage, but ocean swells, shoulder pain and asthma forced her to give up the swim. Nyad was vomiting when she was brought aboard a boat at 12:45 a.m. Tuesday -- 29 hours after she jumped into the water Sunday (CNN)."



Well maybe you shouldn't try to swim stupid distances when you're 61 years old. In only her 2nd hour of swimming she was having shoulder pain. You know why? Because you have an AARP card and shouldn't be swimming 103 miles in shark infested waters. Sorry, I don't feel anything for her. It was a stupid idea, and I think Cuban people should laugh her. Don't think make this swim all the time? They do it without complaining, and without "10 handlers" to advise them.



In other words this is just another story I want off my TV.



Speaking of old people doing stupid things. Joe Paterno got run over by one of his own players. Maybe it's not a good idea to have an 84 year old man near a bunch of helmeted missiles. Just saying.

Olympic champion swimmer Michael Phelps is entered in nine different events at the U.S. trials, which takes place June 29 - July 6. A winner of six gold medals and two bronze in 2004, Phelps could be sizing up the Olympic record of seven gold medals won at a single Summer Games, that was accomplished by Mark Spitz in Munich in 1972
