THOSE GREEKS JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND IRONY

Pool fool makes a splash (Ottawa Sun, August 28th, 2004)

After four days of Olympic competition, Canada can lay claim to a bronze medal in diving and the fool in the pool. With Greece spending 1.2 billion euros ($1.9 billion Cdn) on security for the Games, Olympic organizers were unamused yesterday after a 31-year-old from Montreal jumped off the three-metre board at the diving venue Monday night. [...]

The incident happened around 10:50 p.m. local time Monday during the synchronized diving competition.

The accompanying picture must be the ultimate statement on synchronized diving.

I infer from the picture that if al Qaeda members were willing to wear skirts, they would easily get past security.

Another worthwhile Canadian initiative.
