...became known as the Messenger of Allah is relatively abundant, although the facts have been embellished with pious folklore. Some have claimed that at Muhammad's birth the palace of the Persian emperor trembled, or that a mysterious light ignited at his mother's breast, shining all the way to Syria, 800 miles away.

Specht, however, is unshaven (he's saving it for the NCAA's) and took only fourth in last night's 100--"his best event" according to coach Farely.
