Is there a more manly-man sounding name in cycling than Bram Tankink?

Thor Hushovd is pretty tough sounding. Being named after the god of thunder isn't anything to be sneezed at.

But, Bram Tankink is major macho. He's got the horror movie monster angle covered with his first name Bram, as in Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula. Then he has the military covered with Tank. Even the kink part could evoke an S&M dom image.

Who else would you want as a team workhorse than a tank driving, whips and chain wielding, blood-sucking monster?

If only he was bigger than 5'11 and 154 lbs.

News consultants are either stunningly brilliant beyond my comprehension or dumber than Play-doh. My gut feeling is that they are dumber than Play-doh. This evening KMOV unveiled a new feature on the 5 o'clock news. They seemed rather proud of this new segment titled "10 minutes with the doctor". The problem: 10 minutes with the doctor was barely over a minute long.

Who was the genius that thought of that one?
