I weep for our culture So the IOC announced they have chosen to drop wrestling from the Olympics. Because it's just a fad or something, and it's not like it has any history or relationship to the Olympics or anything. So I decided I would start a campaign to nominate planking as an Olympic sport. Then I looked up planking on wikipedia and found all these variations and I-hesitate-to-call-them-refinements to the concept of planking. Sigh.
