You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who didn't know about Felix Baumgartner's 24 mile supersonic skydive this weekend. Everyone was talking about it (but not talking about how lame it is that Redbull had their logo plastered all over such a crazy occasion), and everyone held their breath as he jumped.

We all had to wait 4 minutes and 20 seconds for his freefall to complete before we had any indication that he'd be landing safely.

Amazingly, during that almost-five-minutes, Felix was at one point traveling at 833 mph or Mach 1.24, and he shattered the speed of sound.

This is the definition of horror.

This waterborne parasite, an amoeba called Naegleria foleri, lives in warm and unclean water and has just killed 10 people in Pakistan. It infects the human nervous system and becomes extremely difficult to treat — which leads to death in about a week.

Okay. Winning a million gold medals is one thing.

Getting to meet one of your idols is another.

Having your idol be Michael Jordan?? HOLY CRAP!

Michael Phelps just tweeted that he got to meet his hero — MJ!

Prince Harry kept it in his pants long enough to make a public appearance at the Paralympics! Ha!

He was spotted hanging out with several Paralympians, including Jessica-Jane Applegate.

Applegate won the gold medal in swimming in the controversial intellectually disabled classification.

The classification has been controversial since Spain had a gold medal winning team at Sydney in 2000 where none of the players had any intellectual impairment and one was even a professional basketball player!

That's awful!

Applegate actually has Asperger's syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum, so she was legit!

Losers (like Spain's cheater team) get embarrassed and are awful, winners get to meet Prince Harry!

Way to go, Paralympians!

Megan Lochte, Ryan Lochte's sister, was on some sort of talk show giving an interview about going to the Beijing Olympics.

She's trying really hard to be funny but she absolutely is not.

She's actually really offensive.

She keeps throwing around racial slurs, and showing how ignorant she is.

It's awful and embarrassing and bringing shame to the Lochte name.

Check out the video (above) to hear her spout out racial slurs.

When it comes to playing pool with Prince Harry, Ryan Lochte would prefer to keep it in the water.

And not in the naked hotel room. LOLz!

Lochte and Prince Harry met when they happened to be at the same pool party in Vegas.

"We were at the same pool party and his people came over to my table and said Prince Harry wants to meet you."

So of course he went to meet him! Then Harry had the idea to race him in the swimming pool!

Guess who won? LOLz!

So after the "race" Lochte said he was kinda happy he didn't end up in the strip billiards game, saying:

"After our race, we went our separate ways."

It's probably for the best.

Can't have two super hunky naked famous dudes like that in the same room.

Who knows what sexiness could have happened?!

Mmm…
