Usain Bolt (http://mashable.com/2012/07/18/usain-bolt/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) is the fastest human being on Earth.

In related (and mind-boggling) news, Usain Bolt has also never run a mile.
Wait, what? The fastest person on Earth has never run a mile?*

The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/news/sporting-scene/how-fast-would-usain-bolt-run-the-mile?mbid=social_twitter) recently explored how fast Bolt could run the mile if he really dedicated himself to it. That premise is more interesting than you might think — Bolt stands 6-foot-5 and weighs just over 200 pounds, while the best longer-distance runners tend to be much shorter and skinnier. Basically, sprinters need lots of muscle to propel short bursts of speed while runners who compete in longer distance benefit from carrying less weight.* Read more...
