Madrid won the first round of voting (slightly) over Rio -- (link) - ty97 Oct 2, 10:31 8
- wow - Madrid only got 4 of the 40 votes that came up for grabs after the first and second rounds - Roger More Oct 2, 10:34 7
  - So, basically, many IOC members wanted Chicago out of the way early so Rio would win. -- nm - BB Oct 2, 10:38 4
    - I doubt it. What I suspect happened is that (broadly) the Asian countries lined up behind Tokyo, the Europeans behind Madrid, the Latin Americans - Roger More Oct 2, 10:43 3
      - To your IM: The same committee rated Rio dead last. - ty97 Oct 2, 10:46 1

- My Zune automatically pauses when I remove the headphones. Do iPods do that? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:28 2
  - the last two generations of nanos do. can't say for sure for anything before that. my second-generation ipod did not. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:32
  - My first gen ipod touch does. -- nm - lileve Oct 2, 10:30
#5 -- nm - Todd Manning Oct 2, 10:25 3
- I haven't done Hotties of the day yet...(nm) - amoxy Oct 2, 10:26 2

Here's the thing about "Flash Forward" - BB Oct 2, 10:24 7
- spoils... - Krusty Oct 2, 10:28
- That's what I was saying to the wife last night. But I guess that's the central issue of the show: - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:27 5
  - [deleted]
  - That's what I think - BB Oct 2, 10:33
  - I didn't care for the book much, but it did address the question of fate vs. free will. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:32 2
    - I didn't even know it was a book. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 2, 10:34 1
      - If you'd had a Flash Forward, you'd know about it. - BB Oct 2, 10:36
I hate doctor's offices where you regularly have to wait way past the appointment time. - Don Homer Oct 2, 10:21 3
- Sucks, I go to a walk in. Takes forever then he's partly out the door when he's with me. -- nm - lileve Oct 2, 10:30
- Even more interesting. My primary has a walk in policy. On the two recent occasions when I did that I was seen way faster than when I schedule an appt - HdnAgnda Oct 2, 10:26 1
  - I look at it this way: - kelly Oct 2, 10:33
despite Obama's pleading, it really should surprise no one that Chicago was passed up. - Guy Oct 2, 10:20 4
- and the blogs full of comments saying they would have gotten it if Obama hadn't gone is just retarded -- nm - Guy Oct 2, 10:27 2
  - Though, if Chicago *had* won it, Obama would have gotten the credit for clinching the win, correct? - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:48
  - well I can agree that that's stupid. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:28

*starts banging staffers to bring up ratings* -- nm - Conan O'Brien Oct 2, 10:19
I'm very upset we've never been considered for the Olympic games. -- nm - Jimmy, Researcher at McMurdo Station, Antarctica Oct 2, 10:14 14
- tangent - but if you've never read the book Icebound, about the doctor who got breast cancer at the South Pole, you should. - Andie Oct 2, 10:31
- make a bid a see how fast you get skipped -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 2, 10:17
- you don't even get a ring, loser. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:16 11
  - You should see how I rock the To Build a Fire event. -- nm - Jimmy, Researcher at McMurdo Station, Antarctica Oct 2, 10:19 4
    - I'm a fan of the Kate Beckensale Takes a Shower Event. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:20 3
      - bonus: All that silicone acts as antifreeze. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 10:23
      - It's a perfect 10!! (stupid Russian judge.) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 2, 10:22
      - But not so much the Alens vs Predator meets Tomb Raider and X-Files Event. -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 10:20
  - they have a ring, we just can't see it because it's snow white. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 10:17 4
    - It obviously doesn't intersect with any of the other rings -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 10:17 3
      - maybe it's inside them! -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 10:18 2
        
        or around them all. antarctic global domination conspiracy! -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:21 1
        
        logically it would be under them - zork Oct 2, 10:22
  - heee -- nm - zork Oct 2, 10:16

track and field for me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 10:13
IBM takes on Google in business Web-mail market -- (link) - zork Oct 2, 10:12
seriously, santiago isn't realistic and there's like one city in argentina south of buenos aires with more than 100,000 people. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:11 7
- I guess that's the city where I was born :-) (no, Olympics are not going to happen there any time soon) -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 10:16 1
  - I could see summer, but I was talking winter in argentina (or really the southern cone). -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:30
- Lillehammer 25,000; Albertville 19,000 -- nm - zork Oct 2, 10:16 4
  - yeah, but lillehammer's less than 2 hours from oslo, ditto albertville to lyon or milan. bariloche or punta arenas are close to nothing. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:28 1
    - good point -- nm - zork Oct 2, 10:35
  - Argentina has been in too much trouble with the World Bank to be taken seriously for the Olympics. Even Buenos Aires is a stretch. -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 10:22 1
    - *bans Shakira again for you saying this* -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:27
Does it concern anyone that the stunt driver is wearing a helmet and Tom Cruise is just lying on the hood of a car? -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 2, 10:10 5
- Tech support! -- nm - Tom Cruise SI Oct 2, 10:37
- Xenu protects him -- nm - zork Oct 2, 10:17
- l.ron will save him. -- nm - mafic Oct 2, 10:16
- He's an OT, he'll be fine. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 10:14
- that's not a helmet that's just cameron diaz's head. -- nm - Max Oct 2, 10:12
I never saw The Games, but I remember seeing a clip of it - something about the 100m track being the wrong length or something. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:10 2
- It was a great show, but I'm not sure how well it translates as it's amazingly dry and fast-talking, and non-Australians might spend too much time - Roger More Oct 2, 10:16 1
  - "How long is our 100 meter track? How long is it, Mr Wilson? " - zork Oct 2, 10:20
Brackets? I don't need no stinkin' brackets! -- nm - JaxSean Oct 2, 10:09

- Really??? But that one scene was the funniest thing I've seen in awhile... - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:13 8
  - It just seems like (overall) it's trying too hard. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 2, 10:30
  - Courtney Vance -- nm - BB Oct 2, 10:17 5
    - I had to Google him, I couldn't remember where I knew him from...12 Angry Men. -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:20 4
      - and The Last Supper. -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:21 3
        
        He was also the sonar guy in The Hunt for Red October, and he starred in one of the L&O spin-offs -- nm - BB Oct 2, 10:29 2
        
        I kept seeing him in The Last Supper when I was watching last night. I don't remember him from Red October. - Krusty Oct 2, 10:36 1
        
        He was the guy who figured out how to track the Red October. - BB Oct 2, 10:43
  - I agree, I really like him. -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:14
*fires a rocket, watches as crash drives right into it* - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:08 12

      - we did this Vidmaster achievement on ODST last night - complete the highway segment with no warthogs or tanks, Iron skull activated - crash davis Oct 2, 10:18 3
        
        the fact that none of used used more than 100 rockets really suprised me. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:19 2
        
        I fired the fewest as really I was hanging back a bit, hoping I wouldn't die and reset the whole team - crash davis Oct 2, 10:21 1
        
        yeah, that was easy peasy -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:21
      - Its a vidmaster challenge - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:18
    - what really got me was I'd be proud of what I was doing in a segment, and then ghost debris would fly 100 yards right into me -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:14 3
      - I really need to see if I can get a video clip of that segment. - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:20
      - also I thought the banshees would be the toughest, and they were nothing - it was those stupid ghosts -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 10:15 1
        
        oh I knew it would be those damm ghosts. - tRuMaN Oct 2, 10:18

Any dude who didn't answer "women's beach volleyball" in the Olympics attendance poll is a lying lyiar who tells lies -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 10:07 8
- Yeah, that may very well change my winter/summer answer to summer. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:14
- I forgot that it's in the Olympics. I watched them play this year in Coney Island, so glad they don't shun the east coast anymore. -- nm - Krusty Oct 2, 10:12
- You can go see that in non-Olympic settings. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 10:09
- im sure there are some hotties in it, but the two americans who get all the fame (May and...?) don't do it for me -- nm - Guy Oct 2, 10:09 1
  - well the brazilian couple is pritty nice looking - Danedukenuuk Oct 2, 10:11
