random thought of the week - olympic edition

Here we go with another random thought, delivered in a semi-weekly fashion.
I, like all Americans, have been watching Olympic swimming, and nothing else.
Anyways, At the start of the Backstroke races, I did not know that a start was required than from the blocks. So, when everyone jumped in the pool to get set up, I just thought that they were splashing around. I know that I would have yelled 'cannonball!!"

This may be one reason why I'm never going to the Olympics.
