International Olympic Committee

Today is the first day of the 2008 Summer Olympics hosted in Beijing. My family can't stand the Olympics, but I enjoy them a lot. I like to see countries of the world come together for sports.
So today's links are to the the International Olympic Committee and also The Offical Website for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games!

The International Olympic Committee website features everything about the Olympics including information about the games, sports, athletes, and past Olympic events.

The official website for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games includes all of the information on the International Olympic Committee's website, but more directed on the ongoing events. It also includes lists and times of all the events.

Well, you would probably act like any of the people who witness Improv Everywere's crazy antics! You've got to check this out. It's some of the best things I have ever found on the web.

Here's a favorite of mine: Food Court Musical
