			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in the pool. He is more popular than air and boobs. The world is in love with him.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the thing… He won eight gold medals <strong><em>in the pool</em></strong>. Swimming is a recreational activity and/or a survival skill— that&#8217;s it. I live on land. We (for the most part) all do. Being a really good swimmer would be more impressive if perhaps we were mer-people or lived in the age of sea piracy, but we&#8217;re not and we don&#8217;t. So fucking cool it already with all the Phelps chatter. He&#8217;s really, really good at a marginally useful thing.</p>

Truly remarkable paint job&#8230; Probably the most unque I have ever seen on an expensive car such as this.  The whole car is covered with designs drawn by sharpies, it took them about 2 weeks to finish it.  See more picture after the break.

So, today the iMac is turning 10 years old and surely it has seen major improvements.  It&#8217;s uniqueness comes from its design, its mean to be a one piece computer with the monitor and computer parts all in one box.  These babies came in different colors and weighted at about 40lb.  Happy Birthday iMac!
