I'm going to threadjack this and start talking about the Olympics.
What a drag it's going to be, having to watch things that aren't Olympics on TV for another 4 years. It's been great. Watching people doing completely incredible stuff is a tonic for the soul, even though I did enjoy the occasional face-plants the most.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

What happened to the Russian diver who scored a 0.0?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Originally posted by Sir Og View PostIndia continues their baffling record of approximately 0 medals.
It's really strange for a county of billion people and GDP of $ trillions to produce close to 0 medalists.
They do love playing cricket though.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Clearly, we need a Tantric Olympics.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

BTW, what other world leader would be willing to Cosplay as a Mario brother? Props to Abe.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
