six things

six questions i ponder as i watch the winter olympics
1. do those flags hurt when you ski over them?
2. who was the first person to think the luge would be fun?
3. why would you pick a sport that meant you were going to be cold for so much of the time?
4. curling?
5. whatever happened to torvill and dean?
6. what would the ancient greeks make of all this?

Comments:
5a. How does a woman get back up after having slammed into the ice and then into the boards and proceed to win a silver medal in pairs?

5b. How does a woman get back up after having been *knocked unconscious* in a head-first fall from the top of a lift and proceed to win a gold medal in pairs sixteen months later?
