A 100-year-old Briton has become the world's oldest marathon runner after finishing a race in Canada.
Fauja Singh, from Ilford, east London, ran the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in eight hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds. The record-holder "hit the wall" at 22 miles but soldiered on for another two hours and finished in 3,850th place, ahead of five other competitors. Mr Singh, who took up running 11 years ago after his wife and son died, trains every day by running 10 miles. His coach and translator Harmander Singh said Mr Singh was "overjoyed".
"Earlier, just before we came around the (final) corner, he said, 'achieving this will be like getting married again'.
"He's absolutely overjoyed, he's achieved his lifelong wish."

Now ordinarily I avoid politics because well, Idon'tgiveafuckaboutanyofit, BUT

The Guardian (among others) provided me with this gem -

"Newt Gingrich promises moon base by the end of his second term"

A quote -

"By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American"

What a fucking tool.

Well duh. The sound of one hand clapping is the metaphysical appreciation. I thought everyone knew that. It's why applause seems so disingenuous.
