Where were you at 8:00 PM PST on 8/16/08?

You should be somewhere, glued to a television set tuned into NBC. You're excused if you happen to be in Beijing at the aquatics center, you lucky dog.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know who Michael Phelps is. Tonight in less than two hours we should see history being made. After tying Spitz's long standing record of seven gold medals in a single Olympics, tonight Michael Phelps should add one more for a total of eight.

His last race is the 4 x 100 medley relay, in which he will be swimming the butterfly leg. Apparently the US has never lost this event. Unless something goes horribly wrong, they should win this one as well.

Not only has he won seven gold medals, but in six of those he set world records. The seventh he could only manage an Olympic record. Let the enormity of that task sink in for a second. It's entirely possible that he could leave these games annoyed at having only broken seven world records instead of eight.

This is moon landing big! Spitz held onto his record for 36 years. It's entirely possible that no one else will equal or best this in my lifetime.

So go make sure your TV is working! If not, find a bar or something. Just make sure you're watching.
