Wonder how many property developers they had to call up and tell them their heads would be on pikes soon if this poo poo wasn't sorted out before one finally decided to do it for cost.

e:587, the number of property developers they had to call.

my favourite thing about Myers is how his reaction to Cameron loving a dead pig was to claim it was normal university stuff but he thought that Corbyn and Abbott having a relationship was so funny that he wrote a loving musical about it.

Quite a lot of people decided loving dead animals was normal after that came out. Boys will be boys apparently.

Michael Phelps is a loving gremlin. But in terms of muscle mass and distribution swimmers always have a nice balance.

As a former 'pretty alright' competitive swimmer, I can say that no, swimmers bodies are freaky. I still have really wide but flat shoulders to this day, its not a traditional body-type for sure.

There was a cool photo series by Howard Schatz where he took pictures of a bunch of Olympic athletes. If you look you can decide which sport to take up to achieve the exact style of freakish body shape you prefer!

http://doublemesh.com/athlete-body-type-comparison-photos-howard-schatz/

It's interesting that very few of the sports lead to what most would traditionally consider an "ideal" body in the classical, Herculean style. Makes sense when you consider it of course, rock climbers aren't going to waste time training heavy legs when it's your forearms that are the main limiting factor, just like cyclists can get away with stick thin arms to go with thighs like sacks of meat. As for distance runners... I'd say its the ball sports that produce the most "normally" proportioned looking athletic bodies.

My favourite thing about cyclists is the cyclist tan. Tiny arms, the lower half nicely tanned & the upper half as white as my belly.

Also, I love that I recognised the sumo wrestler on the last picture which doesn't have names. My MMA fandom came through for me. Manny Yarbrough fought at UFC 3 & Pride 3. His fight with Daiju Takase is comical. But the actual best part of those photos is the tiny figure skater sandwiched between a skier and an ice hockey player, both wearing their boots to boost their heights. She barely makes it to their nipples.

Some of the runners have good farmer tans as well from their vests. You see it really clearly with skiiers and mountaineers too - deeply tanned faces from all the sun and snow except for perfect goggle/sunglasses lines around their eyes. I have a great picture somewhere of myself after a summer in the Alps where I look like a kind of reverse panda.

And yeah lol, it looks like she has been photoshopped in at 3/4 size.

There's actually a 1 foot height difference- these are photoshopped to all hell to exaggerate differences.

Does Manny still hold the record for having been the heaviest ever professional athlete?

In that photo Liz has the complete expression of "What is the point of all this poo poo".

In her lifetime she's gone from never having a realistic chance of being Queen, to working in WWII, becoming Queen, seeing the empire disintegrate, watching the UK join Europe, and now watching it start to leave.

Life of royalty is a pretty good one so no sympathy that she actually has to do her job, but can understand why she is apparently just annoyed she's missing the horsey races.
