Random Facts about Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps

Last night, I was in my neighbors house watching the Olympic swimming competition when I saw the American swim team set a world record in the relay. Although it was a team effort, it was the work of Michael Phelps that got the US of A half a lap a head of every else. With everyone beaming over the Olympic athlete, I thought I would take a break from the gaming theme I've held to recently and tell everyone some random tidbits about Michael Phelps.
