2 thoughts--Anyone heard of Al Oerter before today? Not me. I think he was less famous than he should have been. 4 gold medals in the same event in 4 Olympics? Pretty impressive.
Also I think Brendan Beary has too much time on his hands. I think he looked up the obituaries the most obscure people he could find who died last year and wrote poems about them--I find it hard to believe he was an expert on all those people like the archbishop of New Zealand. But if that's his idea of a good time, more power to him. I certainly became aware of people I never knew existed, if nothing else. Some people are certainly creative.
