WTF Farve
No, I do not like this at all. If the Vikings win the Super Bowl because of Farve it will be cheapened.

So a drunk drives his powerchair into a hot tub…

I mean…who would blame him? But now he’s planning to ride in the BAJA 1000! A 1000 mile race from Tijuana to La Paz.To ride, he’s created a nbike outfitted with hand controls, a modified seat, and a cage to protect his legs (and to keep his legs on the bike).

But the bizarre add-ons – the wacky things that happen to your body when your spinal cord is decommissioned – do you even want to know? If you’re the kind of person who thrives on the bizarre, or if you’re you aiming to get on Jeopardy, then this blog is for you…
