Learned From Watching the Olympics

8> Bad sportsmanship sucks, in any language.

7> Wearing sunglasses, even though you’re indoors and it’s nighttime, apparently improves your performance.

5> Girl javelin throwers from Paraguay are really hot!

4> The ancient Greeks had bicycles and played tennis, apparently.

3> A world record means never having to say you’re sorry. Or wrong. Or anything intelligent, really.
