Celine Dion, for inflicting her music on the world ,is evil personified in my book.

She is infamous

That's a strong candidate for the board's only incidence of unanimous agreement.

The average F1 driver loses 5 kg in a 1 1/2 hour race. Can you tell me another athletic event that the participant loses that much weight due to extreme effort. Baseball Laughing Football Laughing

I have driven F3000 cars. It is beyond a doubt a sport. Try it and tell me you are not wasted after a race. Exhausted, bruised and sore as hell.


No man, honestly I've never done it. Well maybe it's a sport but it doesn't seem athletic and I certainly wouldn't expect those guys to do well in an iron man. To me it seems kinda like horse racing - the horse should get the credit a lot more than the jockey. I think Formula 1 is the biggest spectator event in the world though? It's just not for me I guess. I'm into swimming, running, boxing, hockey and basketball mostly.

Lennox Lewis = more of a stretch than Mary Pierce?


How do you figure? Lennox competed for Canada in 2 Olympics and won a gold medal as a Super Heavyweight in 1988. He lived and trained in Canada during his highschool and olympic years only moving to Britain to better train and capitalize on the British audience (ie. $$$)

His Mom still lives in Kitcher-Waterloo to this day if I'm not mistaken. From what I remember Pierce has virtually no ties to Canada other than her birth.

Hence the question mark. My question was answered. Not arguing.
