- This is turning into more and more of a sports fairytale and it might be too much to handle for me. I mean, come on! Martina Sáblíková is KICKING ASS at the Olympics, and she didn't even have a proper training space back home (speed skating ain't big over here). But trainer Petr Novak, "a barrel-chested bear of a man who shed tears of joy after his star pupil's performance" always believed in her, so much so that he ended up on wellfare at one point because he spent all this time training her, getting Sáblíková where she is today - which is the first Czech woman EVER to win Gold twice at the Winter Olympics. Go Martina!
-After the men's hockey team had survived the scare against Latvia, Finland kicked our booties and the Czech Hockey team is out. Bummer.
-Apparently, this is exactly what sex in the workplace looks like, at least to the editors over at Lidové Noviny. This warrants an LOL. Thanks to Rob for this.
-UPI corespondent Marc S. Ellenbogen is SICK of it and not afraid to say it out aloud. Sick of what? A little thing called corruption, that, believe it or not, is "at the top echelons nearly everywhere" here in the Czech Republic. Uh-oh. Ellenbogen gets so irate in this nearly unreadable rant that he calls Minister of Defense Martin Barták a "crock." My favorite is this though: "It is time to slap these folks down. It is time to remove their grubby hands from the cookie jar."
-If there is a crime I condemn, aside from the obvious ones like murder, rape and corruption, it's puppy smuggling. A Slovak national was caught smuggling 47 puppies across the Austria, trying to get to Spain. He just kind of threw the five-week-old cuties under his seat, too. How could you do that? Apparently, the last time a puppy smuggler got caught, 20 out of his 137 dogs died during the transport.
RE sex v praci, Oh my god she is NOT into it, and he is extremely confused.
