Awwww

Poor Marianne Timmer. She was the Dutch hope for the women's 500m Speed Skating in Torino yesterday but she was disqualified for twitching her knee at the start. (>-_-)> HUG <(-_-<) It's kinda sucky because the first false start was caused by the miniscule swaying of the Korean contestant next to her which brought both of them totally out of focus since it wasn't really a false start to begin with. And then Marianne Timmer gets disqualified for trembling... I mean, it's not like either of them took off to early or anything... That stupid Starter shooter person... grrrr. Now Marianne REALLY has to win gold at the 1000m so she can smile again... <(^__^)>

Germany is 3rd in the medal rankings with 7 medals: 4 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze. We. So. Rule. (Well the US and Russia are still in front of us but those two both have like 100x as many inhabitants so we still rule. :P )

Other news in the world include a liscence to kill for 7 Dollars, the Bird Flu in Germany and a 3rd World War over a distasteful caricature. Not really worth to get into those... heh.
