  to be fair to WAYX, unlike Utah they weren't being hypocritical, in that I don't recall any part of the bible that claims it's more popular* than the Beatles. (for creatures that the creator had an inordinate fondness for, even beetles get short shrift; all I've found is Lev.11:22 "ye may eat ... the beetle after his kind ...") * how should we measure popularity? By Google hits, Jesus wins, hands down, but by platinum record multiples (Amy Grant being in the single digits), John had a point.

    Reminds me of a joke: "A shark could swim faster than me, but I could probably run faster than a shark. So in a triathlon, it would all come down to who is the better cyclist."

      On first thought, a shark would make a pretty good roadie: they don't need to shave their leg hair, for instance. However, it appears that both basking sharks and great whites peak at only 5.5 W/kg, while professional human cyclists can sustain such output. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30209042/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30209042/ (incidentally, everything old is new again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41179954 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41179954 )
