MICHAEL PHELPS - They say he is going to come back to Baltimore with $30,000,000.00 to start with in I would guess businesses that will pay to use his name....I will be he will suddenly have MANY more"friends" than he did before! I am not sure I would like that much fame as he now has.

In the interview I saw, he said he was picked on a lot when he was a kid. Kids would throw his hat out the bus window, flip his ears, etc. etc. all the time. He said that he checked his Facebook account and all these people that tormented him in school are now acting like they are long lost best buddies.

I wonder if anybody in his life ever said to him "you'll never use your swimming after highschool.. or maybe college"

I saw that interview. Kind of funny. I know he and his coach bought a swimming pool in Baltimore. He plans to help teach kids how to be great swimmers too. It's crazy how much these athletes (from all different countries as well) get from endorsements. He's got his life made! But it took a lot of hard work. I'm proud of him.

From the trail of cake crumbs and frosting, we gathered that he ran across the living room with it, stopped and wiped a hand on the couch, and we found him licking crumbs off of his hand while sitting on the Love Sac. Unfortunately, it was decorator's icing-- meaning it was half butter and shortning. What a mess! You'd think he hadn't almost thrown up from eating too much cake only a half an hour before!
