The Beijing 2008 Olympic ceremony preparation kicked off today with the torch being lit in Olympia, Greece.  Coming in August all of the summer competitions will begin.  Being that I haven’t played in a sport since last summer’s bean bag competition (unless you count darts at the bar a sport), I sit at a computer all day, and basically get tired when I speed walk - then run two minutes - then walk again, I really have no excuse for making fun of Olympic blunders of the past, so I won’t.  But - what I CAN do is make fun of idiots that do stupid stunts and then put them up on the internet, or, athletic bloopers in general.  Sometimes you have to laugh at the stupidity or unluckiness and other times, it is down right painful to watch.  Some of these people had to have lost their ability to reproduce (which may be debatable whether that’s a bad thing).
