Volleyball MVP Patrick Cork

For Immediate Release

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — (March 22, 2005) – In sporting news, yesterday’s MVP was Patrick Cork, an emerging volleyball player out of Indianapolis, Indiana.

After leaping for a middle block that ended up being rolled higher than even he could reach (a reported 2′ 3″ vertical says one fan), Cork managed to beat the ball to the floor by performing “The Pancake” move.

Though Cork is adept at making floor saves via The Pancake, never before has this reporter seen such a move implemented directly following a missed block.

“It was nothing really,” says Cork, who was seen practicing The Pancake successfully during warm-ups prior to the match. “I got really good at The Pancake because I’m usually lazy and slow, so hitting the ball just inches before it hits the floor is the only move I have left.”

If life is a game of inches, Cork is going to go very far on the volleyball court. Fans will next be able to see him play March 28 at 7:10 p.m.

Both Ends of a Rainbow

Isn’t it rare to see both ends of a rainbow? If so, I’ve been rather lucky of late, for I’ve seen two rainbows in the past two weeks. I was able to easily see the beginning and end of each.

I saw the first one while wake boarding in the rain over the Fourth of July weekend. I saw the other on my way home from work today. Yep, I actually left the office before dusk today. Strange, but true. Maybe I’d see more rainbows if I left early more often.

BMW drivers have more sex

A new friend of mine, who happens to drive a BMW, sent me this story. As an Audi driver, I have to agree.

The survey of 2,253 motorists age 20 to 50 showed that BMW drivers have sex an average of 2.2 times a week, followed by Audi drivers who reported having sex 2.1 times a week. Volkswagen drivers ranked third in the survey, having sex an average of 1.9 times a week. The survey was done by German car magazine Men’s Car, which launched its inaugural issue this month.
