I know how it feels. That was me in school. >> ^deathcow:

This is just how World War II started


I was gonna say, this is Ouija board level shit-The moment these things synched-up you have no idea what unspeakable horrors transpired at that very moment....This is irresponsible and unpredictable.

The platform on which they are are sitting is not stable and moves with the metronomes, thus becoming it's own metronome and influencing the direction of the lot.
Without that influence, I am unconvinced they would all have synchronized.


No, they wouldn't. That's the whole point. If you put the metronomes on a movable surface they all co-ordinate. If you just put them on solid ground they won't.

The popularity of an event doesn't make it a game or not. My little comments on VS aren't going to affect anyone's enjoyment of it.>> ^entr0py:

It's not a game either if you have to wear make-up and look pretty to win. Anything with an aesthetics component to the mark isn't a sport or a game. It's an art. Like ballet. And this art is scary and ugly.
You know that would include all figure skating, the most popular event of the Winter Olympics. Let them have their fun, and let us not feel obligated to care about it. That's my attitude to all sports and dancing.

>> 'YouTube:
You'll never be able to see the sport the same way again.
No, I'm pretty sure this was what I was already thinking. I wonder how much training time is spent getting everyone to wear the same terrifying "Exhilarating Porcupine Poop Surprise" expression?

I don't understand how some of these sports are still considered sports.
dressage, synchronized swimming, floor exercises.... It's ridiculous

I thought these were games, not sports... I don't remember it being called Olympic Sports, just Olympic Games

Exactly. Why is this a sport? Replace it with BMX bikes or street luge.>> ^VoodooV:

BMX is already an olympic sport. Sarah Walker (no, not that one) won a silver for NZ, now making a google image search for "Sarah Walker" the awesomestest page on the internet.

Real sports only, with real amateur athletes only, the way it was meant.>> ^Yogi:
Agreed but those athletic skillful things can have a place in the olympics. If anything I'd like to see more and MORE olympic events, just all kinds, including bringing back poetry.



Well, if certain people didn't ruin it for everyone by drafting all their best athletes into the army where all they did all day was practice for the Olympics...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

A always thought synchronized swimming was a joke thanks to the Martin Short link posted above. I didn't know it was a real thing (men's or women's).
