I can't make this stuff up.
read this bit: " 10:05 Uh-oh. Just got reprimanded, er ... "interviewed" by the Xinhua news agency, the main state-run news outlet here.
The reporter asked what I'd remember from the Opening Ceremonies, and I said the atmosphere. How different it is when you're actually hearing the drumbeats and seeing the dancers live. He asked me which acts stood out, and I mentioned the drummers, the scroll writing and the tai chi chuan performance. He asked what I learned about Chinese history. I didn't know how to answer. He asked how different the Opening Ceremonies would have been in the U.S. I didn't know how to answer. He asked again what I'd learned about Chinese history. I still didn't know how to answer.
So he told me I must not know Chinese history and that I should pay attention next time.
Seriously."

They are great. I'm curious if there are any gays or bisexuals among athletes. According to the investigation from the online service BiLoves dotcom,
The Netherlands, South Africa, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Spain are the gayest countries.
