Free music mixtape service Muxtape has temporarily been shut down due to pressure from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). There's not much more information about downtime besides a small note on the front page of Muxtape.com saying that "Muxtape will be unavailable for a brief period while we sort out a problem with the RIAA."

Who wants to bet how many Olympic golds Phelps will win before retirement? 20? 30? Maybe we can revisit this thread in 2016...

He's almost certain to go to London in 2012, but it's unlikely that he'll compete in 2016. In 2012, he'll be 27, which is old for swimmers. He'll not do 8 events in 2012, either. This will definitely be his best year.

Does anyone else here think that they have been posting the worst pictures of Phelps celebrating? They don't show his passion, exuberance and joy...they make him look kind of mean. Like he could be a member of Cobra Kai Dojo.

One oughtn't judge a book by its cover, but I think it's perfectly normal for our species, when one has that level of testosterone, adrenaline, lactic acid, etc. surging through one's body, to resemble a deranged howler monkey during exultation. He seems humble and boyish enough standing there while the national anthem is being played, and he always acknowledges the role of his teammates in his success. To me that speaks much louder than slapping the water with his fists at the end of a race.

Love these guys! They make me laugh no matter what words come out of their mouth. Good points about the wine fridge, but I still want one.
