This reminds me of the article I read yesterday about a paraplegic athlete,
Oscar Pistorius, who was denied entry into the Olympic qualifying events
because his prosthetics gave him an ADVANTAGE over able bodied athletes.  I
saw it on SI.com yesterday, and the LA Times ran a story this a.m.  His
prosthetics look a lot like these running stilts.
