The story of how Arizona State's incredible student-created Curtain of Distraction convinced the best swimmer in the history of mankind to don a speedo, swim cap, fake gold medals and a pair of sneaks ... well let's just say I need that information NOW.

As Oregon State was prepping to shoot a couple of foul shots on Thursday night, the Curtain unveiled a celebrity cameo that immediately became legendary. Out popped Phelps, looking ready to hit a quick 200-meter freestyle. An awesome moment that Phelps teased via his Twitter account just moments before it happened.

And of course there's video.

What an awesome thing here. Good on Phelps for playing along. Would love to see who the Curtain can curtail next.

Of course Michael Phelps was a part of the Curtain of Distraction. (Twitter/Arizona State Athletics)
