      They got a few a good meals in and a bit of sight-seeing but that was about it.

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
        Then why call him God? - Epicurus

              The Australians do pretty damn well for a country of 20 million people.

                And the Kiwis do even better for a country of 4 million people. The Antipodes may not be well known for their great thinkers, but theres no argueing that they produce able bodied people

                My comment was more directed to the Aussies seeming to fail by their own metric. Its not often I see Aussies humbled and gracious in defeat but that seems the posture they adopted through the games

                    My wife was complaining about lack of sleep b/c that she stayed up too late to watch the Olympics (She tends to be a bit of Olympics addict). Only to find out that immediately after the Olympics were done it was "Shark week" on the Discovery Channel.

                        Clearly, they need to find a way to combine the two events. Shark Olympics.

                          Even if not for the olympics it could be a new element to the Ironman competitions. Grizzlies and great whites. All you need to do is run/swim faster than the next guy.
