Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

It was also nice to see George Michael in public doing something that didn't involve his penis. I always liked that song.Darth Nostril wrote:You got The Who to round things off what are you complaining about?

This is the quintissential British mindset, when there is nothing to complain about, complain about having nothing to complain about!Dartzap wrote:Best GB result since 1908, medalwise. Thats nought to be sneezed at, heh.
These games have been annoying in one singular regard:A spectacular lack of epic failing. We were promised glorious clusterfuckups, dammit! Nothing to be bitter about. Even the trains ran on time.

I'm not sure how you're determining this. I would say basketball ranks a distant second behind football, at best. If you consider only the professional leagues of the two sports (the roster of the USA basketball team was entirely drawn from the ranks of the NBA), I'd say its popularity is even lower.EnterpriseSovereign wrote:Nowadays basketball is seen as the US's national sport- there would have been something seriously wrong had they not taken gold
