#4 A family that lived 2 doors down from me in the 1960s (in the UK) called Phelps emigrated to the USA when one of the kids got a swimming scholarship. The son, my age now (mid-50s) bore a strong resemblance to Michael Phelps.

Even more curious is Michael Phelps' father is named Fred, which was the kid I remember father's name.

Probably just a coincidence.

And I eat high protein (bacon and egg sandwich), 1000 calorie breakfasts every day and I'm thin as a rail.
