Quote of the Month:

"The zebra was accused of a false start" -- press coverage of the Fox TV Network's "Man vs. Beast."

[Details: Shawn Crawford, former NCAA 200-meter champ, and world indoor 200-meter champ, raced a giraffe and a zebra in the newest reality TV programming. In a 100-meter sprint Crawford beat the giraffe, who did not have a good start (probably rattled by those guys standing by with tranquilizer guns). Crawford lost to the zebra in the first race, with the zebra running a 9.9. Crawford then filed a false start protest, and the zebra beat him again with a 10.8.
In other Man vs. Beast results: the grizzly bear won the world hot dog eating championship by downing 50 dogs in sub-2 minutes; the orangutan defeated the sumo wrestler in a tug of war, then raised his hands in victory; and a navy seal defeated a chimp in the obstacle course.]
