A friend in high school ended up with so much metal in her neck (thrown from a car, broke her neck in multiple places, ended up with rods and pins and wire and it's amazing she wasn't paralyzed) she always sets off detectors. She has a card or something.

I suppose they use a metal that you can't attach magnets to. Otherwise, I'd have way too much fun with that.

Yikes, bon! That's a hell of a running injury.

OK, this filmed bit (from a few minutes ago EDT) is the silliest thing I've ever seen!

Also, have The People gotten used to Camilla yet? I think she and Charles are adorable together. t /really not live-blogging

It got even sillier.

Isn't it? MR. BEAN!

Frankly, I think every Olympics needs to play the Chariots of Fire soundtrack. I literally wore out my dad's vinyl, I use to listen to it so much.

Everything is so silly! And/or moving.

I am watching at a bar with Tom and Nora. No sound, but the commentary is close captioned.

What filmed bit, Jesse?

I've read a couple bits on people who've had magnets implanted in such a way to add to their sensory input. It sounds creepy and weird and and potentially dangerous to me. Why would you want the bits to move around and stuff?

Oh, Rowan Atkinson.

I was wondering why the children singing the nat'l anthem were in pajamas, but they were in the children's lit sequence, too, weren't they?
