As such, there's pretty much no way you can call it anything but pure conjecture, fueled by the (probably) leading questions they ask the athletes they interview for their stories. Assuming they even bother to do that. In other words, as long as you don't interview even one dissenting source, congratulations! Your story's airtight!

It has to do with the vibrations from the Jazz movements (flick-kick and heel-hop, especially) on the very processes of creation and evolution, as I understand it. So maybe this athletes and "intrinsic (molecular) intelligence" is true. After all, I'm no world class athlete, so I certainly don't have that kind of intelligence to question them. Or to put it more succinctly, <b>What Would Tiger Do?</b> I recently discovered the power of Jazzercise on the universe.

Is that why so many races are on Sunday?
