The bum on the bus approached me again and asked me what he thought
about the whole Olympic tailwind issue. (a tailwind is a wind that
pushes u from behind, speeds u up. Often use in airplane flight
contexts. I know this cuz the bum asked me about it so I wikisearched
it on my iPhone.)

The story is that some olympic runner guy broke a record. The judges
are questioning whether he should be accredited with this because a
wind happened to be helping him while he was running.
I honestly don't know what to think of this.
Should he get it?
Does it matter since all previous record-breaking runners also ran
outdoors?
Should I care?
Now here's another question for you.
If there was a headwind (or whatever the opposite of a tailwind is),
would he get extra credit if he still broke the record?
That would be amazing. But the fact is that running outdoors has its
random naturally-induced drawbacks. It's not his fault thad God
decided to help him like "Angels in the Outfield". (remember that
movie?)
He's a winner in MY almanac.

Anyway so this bum got more specific about the origins of his bummyness.
He's convinced that he is gifted with a heightened ESP (extra-sensory
perception).

Ta' loco.

This ESP thingy is basically a hardcore collection of brain-type-sixth-
sense nonsense. He quoted Einstein, who said that we only use but a
small fraction of our brains. Mr. Bum thinks he can expand his ESP
abilities and use it for the following:

- Telepathy
- Telekinetics
- Spidey-sense-type stuff
- Mind-reading

This dude thinks he's the little kid with the spoon in The Matrix.

Ta' LOCO.
