Mar 2 2010Mars Can't Play Sports To Save Its Rotation
Now listen, Mars: I'm not saying you should fake a disability so you can compete against Pluto in the Special Olympics, but you should. You definitely should.
Mars in the Olympics [lettherebeblogs]
Thanks to Julie M., who deserves the gold in Geekologie Tipping (I'm just saying that to be nice, I think this is her first one).

Who decided what the flag of mars is? It's pretty darn poor.
9. naas - March 2, 2010 3:47 PM
@8 that's the only thing they could get on the TV up there except they were longer, thinner lines - so they just went with it

i didnt even know that mars had a flag......
But the idea of intergalactic Olympics sounds pretty epic. Imagine all the crazy sports from other planets.

So why is Mars sporting a gay pride rainbow flag???
Martians are all queer… who knew?!

Worst and most pointless chart ever made.

The Martians have better things to do.

Vancouver only gave out 258 medals in total...86 Gold, 87 Silvers and 85 bronzes.
Beijing gave out 302 gold, 303 silvers and 358 bronzes. I demand recount for verification of results not fabrication!

Mars always gets picked last for the baseball team...

@8, 10 & 11: I think the flag colours are from Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars, in that order)

there weren't 205 events at the Vancouver olympics btw. It was closer to 80 events (thus, 80 gold 80 silver etc...)
Winter olympics usually have a third of the summer events. too cold?

There you have it.
86 events in total
86 gold, 87 silver and 85 bronze medals awarded (one event had a tie for silver ... so 2 silvers were handed out, no bronze)

Pandora would pwn Earth in the Olympics and win all the unobtainium medals.
It's lucky they're boycotting the games. For being too political.
