In winter the Canadians win gold, not only for exuberance but also because they have a national beer company, Molson, that routinely delivers liquid supplies.

At the Albertville winter Olympics, condom machines in the athletes’ village had to be refilled every two hours. And in Sydney the organisers’ original order of 70,000 condoms went so fast that they had to order 20,000 more.

This seems to suggest a new Olympic sport ... if they're all doing it anyway, shouldn't we be able to watch, and judge?

Athletes who like to drink! And have sex!

Thank you, Professor Obvious.

Yeah, that'd be just what one needs: 6 former "competitors" from some of the really ugly countries sitting around craning their necks to get a good look. World speed records would be broken left and right.

Oh to be a fly in the wall in the Olympic village...

Sex is alot like sports: everybody thinks they are pretty good at it; most aren't.
