My Favorite Featured Story

More than three years after he finished an epic journey across six continents, Briton Robert Garside has been officiallyrecognized as the first person to run around the world.
Garside, 40, who during his quest called himself the Runningman, on Monday received the approval of Guinness WorldRecords for a 30,000-mile (48,000-km) six-year trek.
"It feels very, very good indeed," Garside told Reuters shortly after hearing the news.
"I'm really happy about this, this run cost me everything," said the former London policeman who was jailed in China, shot atin Russia and chased by armed men in Mexico and Panama during the mega jog which ended in New Delhi in 2003.
The Guinness verdict was a major vindication for Garside, who has been dogged by accusations of cheating by endurancerunners skeptical about a man who claimed to have run through jungles and across deserts with no support team.
Others accused him of embellishing his exploits and of skipping whole sections of the run, something Garside denies.
Garside, who is planning a book and a film of his exploits, kept meticulous records, including eyewitness statements andmore than 300 hours of video footage which Guinness used to authenticate the run.
"It's been a long process, but it was very well documented and it has now been recognized officially as the first fullyauthenticated run around the world," said a spokeswoman for Guinness World Records.
Garside, who described the run as "just like going for a jog every day and not going back home" said it took him two years torecover physically and mentally from his exertions.
Garside, who met his future wife while running through Venezuela in 2000, said one of the hardest moments came in theHimalayas. "It was very cold and I was lonely and it's difficult to find motivation at times like that."
"But it all finally paid off and I'll be running over to Guinness tomorrow to collect my certificate," he said.

Comedian Eddie Griffin saw his life (and his bank account) flash before his eyes Monday after he smashed a $1.5 millionFerrari Enzo into a concrete wall during a charity event at Irwindale Speedway, leaving the ultra-expensive sports car asmoking pile of twisted metal.
The high-speed collision, captured on tape by KCBS in Los Angeles took place during rehearsals for a charity event called"Race for a Cause." Griffin, who starred in "Undercover Brother" and "Norbit," left the crash scene in an ambulance,although he did not suffer any serious injuries and seemed to be in good spirits.
The luxury automobiles used in the charity event were part of a promotion for the film "Redline," a movie about the high-endworld of high-performance sports cars.
