if i did indeed give two craps about the world's fastest man, calculating effects of head winds, tail winds, still air, and negotiating curves on sprinters.. then i'd say "great article"..

I don't see why they don't just run sprinting races in a vacuum to get rid of the wind dilemma.

I saw this guy doing multiplication. trying to be billed as "faster than a computer". (Even though obviously in many ways humans are much much faster than computers)

It was a joke. The guy running the calculator couldn't have moved slower.

I don't know if it was with you, or if it was even the actual discussion or just an example I gave. I think I said something about "there is a 100% that a human being will die if in a vacuum for too long" or something like that. Then someone told me to go jump in a vacuum... or I told someone else to do it. Hmm

Found it. Do CTRL+F for "vacuum"

THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE

DONT COUNT THE TIMES IF THE WIND IS TOO HIGH OR GUSTING TOO HEAVILY.

THE 100M ONLY TAKES 10 SECONDS FOR FUCKS SAKE.
