What's the deal with the synchronized diving men and the shower?

    They are going from the Bejing pool to the Bejing shower.

    My family is fascinated by the shower. Last night, the American girls were in and out of the shower every round while the Aussie girls who jumped before them stayed in the shower and were still there when the American girls left.

    I'd give one million dollars to see the full video of these tools. This is the greatest avatar since the Batman dog.

    I'm wondering why there's a shooting stream of water, urination-like, going into the diving pool.

    As it falls, it disturbs the water surface just a little so the divers know where that surface is as they come out of their dives. Without it, given the optical challenge of looking down into perfectly clear, still water against a blue pool bottom, you couldn't tell where the water began.

    Very nice. I'd been curious about that too.

    There's a local strip club that advertises Shower Every Hour.
    Maybe the Beijing camera bails before Friction Dancing starts.

    Several of my deskmates and I like to shower off after putting the first edition to bed. Keeps us limber and loose for the city edition.

    Someone from NBC must have gotten to the fun girl, either that or springboard divers must not have as much as platform divers.

    You have no idea how much I'd love to see the full video...or with sound. I can't even count how many times I've watched that.

    It was actually the inspiration behind my Avatar Awards thread, but you guys shit all over it...not necessarily you, poin.

    I'm the same way, it's like the Seinfeld episode where Mr. Pitt can't take his eyes off the painting.
