A group from New Zealand wants sheep shearing to be an Olympic sport:

New Zealand produces some of the world’s best shearers and its national championship, the Golden Shears, receives substantial media coverage in the country. Other shearing countries include Ireland and Australia.

It can’t be worse than bowling on TV, can it?

There’s a condom shortage at the Vancouver Olympics, so the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research is shipping in an emergency supply.

“When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately,” said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR’s Executive Director.

Their response is quite swift. Maybe the USA should get CANFAR to manage FEMA?
