With any luck it will be stuck in the baggage system at the new Terminal 5 for a month then get sent to Madrid for processing.

Before the Hitler fans chime in I have to ask..

Have you ever seen a person really hit with an Olympic torch?

I mean a human being immolated with deadly Olympic torches.

Just wondering...

TMBGfreak Promytheus?

"Old Promy," we used to call him. He'd speak of his desires to give the squabbling, squalid denizens of the earth the divine fire. "But Promy," we'd say, "they just won't be able to handle it. They'll burn each other with it and the big man's gonna punish you." "It's cool," he'd retort, "One day my actions will inspire the birth of the modern horror genre..."

/I think you meant Prometheus

nice to know the torch's whereabouts. Last I'd seen somebody gave it to Mahummad (sp) Ali and he was doing the robot; setting things on fire.

 
yotta 2008-04-05 06:08:50 PM  
That's OK. When it reaches the USA, TSA will make them put it out.

Well hopefully the Torch will be extinguished as a type of 'Weapon of Mass Destruction', Thereby canceling the Chinese Olympics.

/Or some Monks will use it on Mau Tsa Tong Lashings, backside.

"OK can you describe this torch?"

--or--

'Does your torch look like any of torches on this cart?'

Don't be silly. Al Gore invented the Internet.

It's symbolic.

But, pointless.

My guess is it gets confiscated by security and the bearer is taken into custody by DHS.

Oh, the irony

Sporting chivalrous contest helps knit the bonds of peace between nations. Therefore may the Olympic flame never expire.

-Adolf Hitler

Well, I hope it's not left unattended. Otherwise, it would be . . . destroyed.
