Number 97 with a BULLET!
I grew up in Philadelphia. I’ve visited Thailand twice and one of my three closest relatives worked there. I almost went to Drexel University and I worked there for one summer. I like computer engineering. And I like athletic excellence. How can one news story combine them all?
Send a Drexel professor of computer engineering to the Winter Olympics to represent Thailand!
Thai cross-country skiing has not reached the level of competition of, say, Jamaican bobsledding. So he didn’t have much trouble qualifying.
How did he do? 97th place! 97 is also the year I worked at Drexel. Coincidence? I think so!
Quit snickering at Professor Nagvajara. He was only in last place out of the competitors who finished the race. Aleksej Novoselkij of Lithuania and Oliver Kraas of South Africa didn’t. And Lithuania actually has snow, unlike Nagvajara’s hometown, the world’s hottest city.
In 2010, Thailand is going to OWN Vancouver. If Cambodia doesn’t take their place.
