In that case, it really was a dead heat. Notice that in the womens' 100m hurdles, the 2nd and 3rd place finisher had the same time, but that tie was broken.
By the rules of swimming, if the athletes have the same time to the hundredth of a second, it's a dead heat. Athletics goes to the photo finish, so even if two athletes have the same "official" time, the tie gets broken.
You know, when I saw this article on the main page, that was the first thing I thought of as well. (And in the interest of disclosure, I am a Benoit fan who still thinks something doesn't quite add up here)
As long as these IDs are only being used to keep unauthorized people out of government buildings, there's nothing wrong with that - everybody should have an employee ID card anyways. It's only when Fancy-Schmancy National ID Cards(TM) become mandatory that we need to start worrying.
WWE sort of does this sometimes. Before a big match they'll show that match in one of their video games - "After the break, John Cena faces Triple H - maybe it'll be something like this..." (clip of Cena being Pedigreed in video game)

Don't forget the obligatory run down Lombard Street.
That depends... 2022 is the Winter Olympics, and I'm not really sure whether DDR is a summer or winter sport.
I just found it really aggravating to play. Apparently the "roller-coaster difficulty" mentioned in the Gamespot review.
Nothing more to say.

How many people here are actually surprised by this?
Damn, you beat me to it.
...the system works!
...I'll lay you 2-to-1 odds it doesn't pass.
Dude, Fark is thataway.
Sounds to me like chronic anxiety disorder. I've been on Effexor since last September, and it's really helped.
