Beijing Olympics

I am watching the opening ceremonies tonight. The precision of the performers is incredible! I thought it was facinating that the teams, which are usually paraded in alphabetical order, are instead put in order by the number of strokes in the Chinese characters which represent a country's name.

I saw part of that too, and I also thought the coolest parts were when all the people were coordinated into these intricate, moving patterns. Very cool. And the big earth with people running around it wasn't too bad either :)
