One Last Look at Crazy Olympic Moments

Monday August 25, 2008
Beijing Fans Go Nuts

China spent $44 billion on transforming Beijing into an Olympic wonder -- and not all that money was spent on taking dog food off every menu in the city, if only for two weeks.

Kendra –

Not sure what that kidnapping has to do with my latest post, but that’s interesting. I think it relates more to the story of the dog cloning woman who was accused of kidnapping a mormon missionary, and trying to force him to have sex with her.
