Best reaction eVAR

Arie and Éiden just watched The Empire Strikes Back for the first time.  When Darth Vader told Luke he was Luke's father, Arie gasped and quickly turned to me, his jaw hanging open in disbelief and astonishment, absolutely stunned at the revelation.

"Is that true?" he asked.  "Is Darth Vader really his father?"

When I said yes, he again gasped, his mouth still open in stunned disbelief, and turned back to watch the end of the movie.

I just saw the best relay race ever

I cannot believe how incredible the men's 400 Meter Freestyle Relay was.  I don't think I've ever seen a swimmer come back from as far behind as as late in the race (only half a pool length to go) as that last American swimmer did.  The commentators had actually conceded the race to the French and said that now the Americans had to hold on just to get the silver.  And then Jason Lezak started to gain on the French swimmer.  At one point it looked like h was actually pulling himself out of the water with each stroke.  It was unbelievable.  He touched out the second place team by just 8 hundredths of a second.  I actually leapt into the air when they won.  In all the years I've watched swimming, I really have not seen a better race.

This, of course, keeps the hope alive for Michael Phelps that he may actually beat Mark Spitz' 1972 record of 7 gold medals in one game (and he's only two medals  away from setting the record for  most gold medals ever for one athlete).  I actually do hope he sets the record.  I have no idea what kind of person he is but I love the way he stands on the medal podium after he's one.  This is, I think, the eleventh time he's done it and each time, it looks like it's the first for him.  He looks so happy and excited.  Though I grew up idolizing Mark Spitz as a swimmer even though I was too young to ever see him swim, I'd be very happy to watch Michael Phelps break his record if someone's going to do it.
