Way OT (well water related anyway)...Go Lars Go

Lars Frolander will be swimming in the 100 meter butterfly finals tonight. Let's just say he does real good (I cheated and peaked on the internet).

I did some research a few years ago when I was trying to make a family tree and I didn't find a link to him at that time. He's from Sweden which is where my grandpa immigrated to the United states from. I found quite a few of my relatives there. I've only found about 100 or so Frolander's in the world so it's a real strong possibility that we're 17th cousins or something like that.

Note: In some places NBC spells it Frolander and in other places they spell it Froelander. I think it's because the "o" in the swedish spelling has the 2 dots over it "ö" and is not really the letter "o", they might just be translating it differently.
