			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">So, I entered the word &#8220;sports&#8221; into Google Images.  I did it for two reasons: A. I figured I would see something weird and B. If it wasn&#8217;t weird, maybe the search result would be so perfect, I would experience religious <a href="http://www.erosblog.com/sex-blog-pictures/bernini-teresa.jpg" target="_blank">ecstasy</a> like St. Theresa of Avila (or this <a href="http://www.washedashore.com/events/kyoto97/r2_ravers4.jpg" target="_blank">guy</a>).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What would &#8220;sports&#8221; look like?  Would it be Michael Jordan slamming a dunk on Larry &#8220;the Bird&#8221; Legend, or perhaps a nameless track and field athlete, sprinting towards the finish line.  What about soccer star Ronaldo? He plays sports! Maybe &#8220;sports&#8221; would be something stupid, like a guy burying his dumb drunk friend in the sand at the beach. Or what if it&#8217;s the thing I said earlier; perfect picture/religious ecstasy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I was wrong on all of those counts! But also, I was right. I found out <em>EXACTLY</em> what a &#8220;sports&#8221; looks like.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-5"></span><img class="aligncenter" title="Sports!" src="http://crapo.senate.gov/services/images/sports.jpg" alt="Holy Lord! " width="423" height="440" /><strong>BEHOLD- SPORTS!!!!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">That image is from Idaho Senator Mike Crapo&#8217;s <a href="http://crapo.senate.gov/services/Sports.cfm">website</a>.  He set up a little space on the web so his visiting constituents could find some sports-related activities to do while visiting DC. That&#8217;s sweet of him. Other Mike Crapo fun-facts:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Graduated High School/College/Law School/Hogwarts</li>
<li>Got elected to the Senate</li>
<li>Voted for/against some things</li>
<li>Had prostate cancer</li>
<li>Feels that &#8220;increasingly, telecommunications and technology are part of our everyday lives.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>But I digress, let&#8217;s return to the search , where it gets even <em>less</em> interesting.  Below we see a screen capture of the search- look at the first few images:</p>
<p><a href="http://stev-d.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-29-at-9.58.55-PM.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7 alignleft" title="Screen shot 2010-01-29 at 9.58.55 PM" src="http://stev-d.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-29-at-9.58.55-PM-300x99.png" alt="" width="300" height="99" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For the most part, it&#8217;s the same sort of image-lonely sports equipment with no one in sight. This means that in our brains, we have made the connection that sports=gear for sports, OR it means that drawing athletes is hard, and drawing a football is much easier.  Either way, with safe search off, how did I not see something naked on the first page? That&#8217;s sort of weird, right?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Anyways, my name is Steve and this is my blog. I will try my dammmmmdest to put some interesting things on this site.</p>
