"I do [think Snape is a hero], though a very flawed hero.
An anti-hero, perhaps.
He is not a particularly likeable man in many ways.
He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity –
and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it."

LIUXIANG PULLED OUT OF 110M HURDLES!!! *sobs like hell*
awww. He was one of the extremely few athletes that I had wanted to watch in this year's Olympics. D: sad face. It's like such a pity laaa. He hurt his leg. :( kinda reminds me of Tyson Gay though. He was thought to be the person that could threaten Usain Bolt's "The World's Fastest Man" title, then he got his leg injured by running a 200m event some weeks ago. =.= ah well. anyway. No wonder Usain Bolt is called the Lightning Bolt. He ran the 100m in a freakin 9.68 secs (I think), AND the last 10 or 20m or so, he ran it with arms open in victory. Who can break the world record in that manner?? Except for him. Lol.

Michael Phelps is the person everyone's talking about. EIGHT OLYMPIC GOLDS in a single Olympic Games. He is a living legend at 23 (I think). Then I was reading this report on him in a magazine. Apparently, his body is different from normal people like you and me and therefore probably him and only him could achieve this amazing feat. Firstly, his body is in a 6:4 ratio, both his arm span spread open nearly amounts to his height, he got broad shoulders and narrow hips, his huge feet can bend 15 degrees more than the average person, his muscles produce much less lactic acid than others, meaning that he can recover in 15 to 20 minutes back to ready mode. So ya. He's literally build/born for the water. And he swims 5 hours a day D: Doesn't his skin peel or sth?? BUT. He can't walk properly on land, having the tendency to lose his balance or trip for no reason. ... ...

Ooops. I shall continue to study chem... :X
