Does anyone know when the wrestling begins at the Olympics? Let me explain why I want to know. You see, on the USA team this year is a wrestler names Brad Vering. He went to high school about 30 miles from where I live, and I've actually been to a few of his wrestling camps. So, I was excited when he made it on the Olympic team.

Also, another reason that he's cool is because he heard about my friend's accident (see St. Mungo's) and is coming to see him after the Olympics are over. What a nice guy! So, if anyone has info on when that even starts, let me know!

I didn't see the opening ceremony, actually, I've seen nothing of the olympics so far while I was in Greece (for holidays). But I brought those little mascots there. Does anyone know whether they have names? And I've heard that we have already 5 medals which is great for a small country like Slovakia. :D :D :D

The mascots' names are Phevos (the boy) and Athenà (the girl). They are based on a 5000-year-old toy found in an archeological digging (sp)

Gwared, if you twiddle your thumbs till summer 2008, then you won't have any thiumbs left. which'll make picking stuff up, writing etc very difficult
