    What’s wrong with the Raybolt? I thought it was a capable system, comparable to the Javelin, but at a lower cost?

    And it’s not like you can say Raygun can’t kill anything either. She killed an entire Olympic sport after all.

          The Australian women’s breakdancing contestant performed an absolutely inexplicable routine with no breakdancing in it and just a bunch of random body movements and extreme weirdness. Her official explanation is that she knew she couldn’t compete with the younger, more athletic contestants (she’s like 40) so she decided to compete with creativity, but I’m sure there’s something else going on. My theory is that she had something like a panic attack and was basically out of her head and got all these weird ideas and had a freak out.

            My theory is that she made a joke of it because it was already planned that the event would be a one of anyway so clearly the IOC doesn’t give a crap about the discipline.
