Mine says the same thing about me. Probably thinks I'm supposed to chase after her.

'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

- Dr. Donald Prothero

Wow, didn't realize that. Even more impressive. I wonder how much a 1/100th of a second translates to lengths at that speed.

Wow, that really does make it even more amazing! Though that looks like 2.65 second slower, not 2-1/100ths of a second? Whatever, he's an awesome horse!

The only downside is I fully expect Hollywood to make a really lame movie about his live within the next year. I wish they could make a decent movie about it all, but I don't trust hollywood. Look how they butchered secretariats story into it being all about the humans.
I guess Seabiscuit was alright and was more about the horse, but Toby McGuire....
