Still no super powers...

German luger chips a tooth biting his metal

While we all know there is not a whole lot that Olympians can not do, apparently biting through metal is not yet within this guys grasp.  I guess I am just wondering what was going through his mind as he tried to take a bite.  It does not take a whole lot of common sense to realize that if someone asks you to do something like this, you do what I like to call pretending.  And even if someone did decide to bite down you would think that the moment they encountered any resistance they would stop right away.  Apparently not so in this case.  He did apparently go right away to get it fixed.


Anyway, I don't know about you guys but I know of only one other person who could actually accomplish this olympic feat.  Last I check he is not competing this year, so until he does we will have to remember the good times and patiently wait for our super powers...Or hope that the Olympian himself had his teeth done Jaws style...

I guess it wasn't a matter of if but when. It's been a long time coming. While it won't do a lot of good to worry about it there is a chance we are seeing just the start of this. It's not likely going to be at its worst until this winter. The summer will slow it down and it will resurface when it cools back down.
