Here's some light-hearted simple news for you until I get around to deciding if I want to write about deeper things like acquitted singers and vegetative autopsies...
The old record for the 100 meter dash was 9.78 seconds, in 2002 by Tim Montgomery.
The new record is 9.77 seconds, set Tuesday by Jamiaca's Asafa Powell.
Not really that much of a difference, except that setting a new record is always exciting, especially since Tim's record was dubious due to possible use of illegal substances. But now it doesn't matter, cuz there's an even better record.
Really, though, a one-hundredth of a second... there's so many variables that could affect that... and there's no guarantee that he'll get that same time the next time he runs, so, yeah, not really too exciting.
But, hey, it's a new record.
