"Multiple world champion Oscar De La Hoya registered a unanimous decision victory over
fellow American Steve Forbes in a non-title bout on Saturday."
Huh?
Who am I?
John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

The inevitable Python comparison ...
Voice Over: 'Boxing Tonight' comes from the Empire Pool, Wembley and features the main heavyweight bout between Jack Bodell, British and Empire Heavyweight Champion. (cheers; shot of Bodell in his corner with two seconds) and Sir Kenneth Clark ...
Shot of Clark's corner; he is in a dressing-gown with 'Sir Kenneth Clark' on the back; both take off their dressing-gowns as referee calls them together; Sir Kenneth is wearing a tweed suit underneath)
Voice Over: It's the first time these two have met so there should be some real action tonight...
The bell goes. Crowd noise. Sir Kenneth wanders around as in 'Civilization'.
Sir Kenneth: This then is the height of the English Renaissance, the triumph of Classical over Gothic ... the ...
Bodell swings a left and knocks Sir Kenneth down.
Voice Over: He's down! Sir Kenneth Clark is down in eight seconds. But he's up again. He's up at six...
Sir Kenneth: The almost ordered facades of Palladio's villas reflects the...
Boddell knocks him down again.
Voice Over: And he's down again, and I don't think he's going to get up this time. (referee counts Sir Kenneth Clark out and holds up Bodell's hand) No, Jack Bodell has defeated Sir Kenneth Clark in the very first round here tonight and so this big Lincolnshire heavyweight becomes the new Oxford Professor of Fine Art.

An raibh tusa ag féachaint ar "Bosco" nuair a bhí tú óg? Bhí Dara O' Briain an-ghreannmhar nuair a bhí sé ag caint faoi "Bosco" ar an "Panel"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xlo_IU2gcI
Rinne Dara Ó'Briain Mata nuair a bhí se ag freastal an t-ollscoil "UCD", chreid é no ná chreid! Agus bhí an "Rose of Tralee", Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin, ag dhearna Mata sa "UCD" freisin! Deir an rud sin le na daoine as na Stáit Aontaithe agus ní bheadh siad é a chreidiúnt!

"Ag staidear Mata", tá brón orm :(

Oh, um, er, ahh ... pogue mahoney?
You Irish have different word for everything!

Come to think of it, it should be "Inis an rud sin do na daoine as na Stáit Aontaithe..." as well.
Oy, it's been a while...
