Does anybody still have their Bud Light can from '96 with Dean Starkey on it? I may still have a digital image of the artwork that Dean sent me years ago and I'll post it.

I was watching that High School Musical audition show (don't ask why) and there was a girl who was a pole vaulter, and she talked about clearing 7'... Also, sort of off topic, the ex-push up world record holder was a pole vaulter (or he wanted to be).

an old tv show called 21 Jump Street which starred a young Johnny Depp. The show was about young cops going under cover in high schools to prevent teenage crime. There was an episode which involved racist track athletes and they showed some nice vaults during the episode.

Have you heard about Chrome, Google's release today of a new web browser? In an announcement about it, in the form of a comic book that tells its story, there is a "set a new bar' reference including a vaulter. Actually they are referring to a JavaScript virtual machine they have developed called V8, which is used within Chrome.

At the beginning of this clip, the athlete mentions he is a pole vaulter
At about 3:15 in, the android replacement for the pole vaulter breaks the world record in the pole vault
