...Dude, There's a Ball in My Iced Tea I think it's funny how Billy Gaines, the founder of Bpong.com, says competitive beer pong is not about alcohol [Aug. 18].

If the purpose of the Olympics is to make the world more peaceful, maybe the reason it hasn't succeeded is that the Games aren't warlike enough. The ancient Greeks got themselves oiled up to wrestle for a good reason: to channel their bloodlust into something meaningless. Also because they were crazy gay. Globalization has made getting along with countries we've never heard of more important, and the best way to do that...
