This Fox News article tells of a woman who received a silver medal at the recently held Asian Games, and is now going to lose the medal for failing a gender test.

This brings to mind the following question: Noting that in some sports (including many track-and-field events) men generally outperform women, how should event judges treat an athlete who has changed gender?


Edit: as I reread this, I am hit by the image of the bridge guard from Holy Grail. "Are you a man or a woman?" "Ummmmmm, a woman. No, wait, AAAAAAAAAAHHHhhhhh...."

We did it. After years of no cable (or similar), we decided to get DirectTV satellite service.

Installation was supposed to be yesterday.

whining ensues )

Something a little amusing: we were able to borrow a ladder to get into the attic. There's a really nice aerial up there! I had no idea. Maybe we could just cancel the whole DirectTV thing and use the aerial.
