Phelps and Cooper Have Swim Off on 60 Minutes

Last night Michael Phelps (aka World's Greatest Swimmer) faced off with Anderson Cooper (aka Middle-aged Mortal) in the pool, for what had to have been the most well-worth watching segment in 60 Minutes history. The race lasted seconds, but the memories will surely last forever.

The two were together for, what Gawker calls, a "flirty interview." Perhaps this Vegas cocktail waitress the Olympic hero took home for Thanksgiving has some competition?

That was almost creepy.

Um, either no one bothered watching the clip or you guys are just really really horny. Because there was absolutely nothing remotely sexual in any shape or form in the interview.

Phelps is hot, you all know it!

But seriously, I am very impressed by this guy.....he is like half-human/half-Dolphin.

Very impressive.

CBS told Anderson Cooper to wear that jammer after they saw all the thongs he packed for this interview. It would have been more fun if they let him wear the sparkly blingy one.

Anderson certainly seems to have found a new butt-bangin' buddy.

Didn't 60 Minutes used to be some sort of legitimate news program once?
