The Chaser, that superb Sydney-based newspaper of record, is hosting an Ancient Olympian Online Tipping Competition. As well, apparently, as inventing democracy, souvlaki, and fluffy dice, The Chaser tells us that the Ancient Greeks were famous for their online tipping comps. I commend this competition to you.

Olympic-related items on The Chaser website this week:

• Pittman now favourite for Paralympic gold
• Botswanan gold medallist wears 40% of nation's GDP around neck
• Aussie cyclist sets new peddling record

(Sadly the registration on the Chaser's Sydney Olympics website, silly2000.com, appears to have lapsed.)

Meanwhile, The Bladder has a wealth of information about Athens 2004. Their online poll tells us that 35% of voters consider the highlight of the Games so far to have been the Police Academy movie marathon on Channel 9.

Over in The Land Of The Free, The Onion provides us with a downloadable colour poster Olympic programming guide.

Plenty of Olympics coverage also at international media outlet, The Spoof.
