how fast those runners go? I mean, I know it's their job to run, but oh my gosh, they are practically flying around the curved track! In my 20s and early 30s, I used to run for exercise, and I felt so lean and mean and thin! I...

Can ANYONE top this year's Opening Ceremony? I think this has BY FAR been the best Opening Ceremony, and I don't see how any country will be able to top this one! Of course, China spent $300 MILLION on it, while Athens spent $3...
