Olympics 2008
Beijing 2008 has begun and I’m surprised to discover that sprint swimmer Mark Foster is the flag-bearer for Great Britain as I can’t believe that he’s still competing at nearly 40 years of age. Most swimmers have limited longevity for example Ian Thorpe retired in his early 20s and that Foster is still able to compete at an Olympic standard is astonishing.
The BBC’s Monkey animation for the opening of their TV coverage is very cool.

Hitler Banned From iSketch!
I’ve not played iSketch in over a year but I still found this most hilarious.
I’d advise the police to be cautious as it is established fact that
1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
That they haven’t yet flipped out is a sure sign that they are probably on the verge of doing so.
