Olympic Torches Throughout History

It's really cool to see how they've changed over the years.

There was a bloke in Austraslia who ran along being followed by the press and applauded as he went by at the Melbourne games in 56.

What he was actually carrying was a table leg with a tin can nailed tio the top,with a bit of cotton dipped in kerosene burning away in it.

The real torch bearer was some way behind him and was for quite a long time ignored.

The coppers arrested him but were buggered if they could work out waht to charge him with.

The one used in china doubles as a castration device for families that have more than the children allowed. Boycott this sorry excuse of a gathering of "good will".

Between the joke that is the political land mine of china, and the allowance of pro athletes, there is no reason any country should go and compete.

can u just add the olympic tourches which are going to used in 2008 olympic in china...

From Munich to Beijing, from fascism to communism.
Berlin fell, Moscow fell, Sarajevo fell, will the torch trip Beijing?
