    I remember reading that the body has evolved to cope with the impacts
    that can come with the fastest speed we can run at. Dunno how true

  8. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ
    Oh I don't. Given a high enough cliff he'd reach terminal velocity which

    Only slow ones.

    Bolt averaged 23mph for his 100m gold medal, and peaked at over 27.

    <g> I once performed the whole of that at a dinner in the residence of
    the Minister of the Interior for the Punjab.

    I'll bore you with the tale in May, if you like - or even if you
    don't.
