Now this is stupid. I'm watching bits of the Winter Olympics, because there's nothing else on TV. It's the ski-jumping. You'd think that ski-jumping would be a pretty simple thing - guy goes down a slope, you measure how far they go before they land.

But no. Ski-jumpers get style points. Five judges give them scores that get added to the length of their jump. How lame is that? Surely the best style for a ski-jump is the one that makes you land the furthest from the take-off ramp? Could you imagine this sort of thing happening in the long-jump? "Well, I'm sorry Vladmir. You jumped further, but Terry's landing was just so much more graceful, so we're giving it to him."
