The wikipedia site has an interesting bit of history on speedwalking, especially as how it began as a kind of working-class competition ("pedestrianism") in parts of England. Still...dumb. But it can't be too easy. Some dude collapsed near the end of the race.

Great job London. It was a fun Olympics to watch. But we could have done without the Spice Girls and One Direction in the closing ceremonies. You know when you have guests round? As much as you've enjoyed their company and their friendship, you notice that it's getting late and perhaps you're feeling a little weary. How can you subtly make them aware of the time? Push them towards leaving without appearing to push them towards leaving?

The fact that the Spice Girls were sanctioned in the Closing Ceremonies but Doctor Who had its bit in the Opening Ceremonies cut out for time pretty much means that London failed miserably.

The fact that The Spice Girls have never been locked up under some obscure 14th Century law regarding 'Disturbing Ye Kings mind with wanton caterwauling' means the entire country has failed.

This is, what, the third time in a week that someone has specifically said that they no longer love ME in order to say that they liked what someone else had to say. What the hell? I'm all for polygamy!

You and I would have too many arguments over the wifely duties schedule, Mumms.
