It just HAD to happen- Olympics thread
#8
RE: It just HAD to happen- Olympics thread
Apparently, Mr. Pistorius went through an extensive study where scientists measured the input and output of energy, and they found it gives him no discernible advantage.

I have watched a little bit of the olympics when sitting down with my wife or parents, but I'm not really interested. I like the idea of people pushing themselves to their limits physically, but the whole thing is too jingoistic for my tastes.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
