Can a Swimsuit Be Too Good?
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/design/Can_a_Swimsuit_Be_Too_Good'; Even we didnt guess it would be this good. When I wrote last month about Speedos latest swimsuit—an extremely high-tech full-body wonder—three world records had already been broken by LZR-clad swimmers. Coincidence? Maybe. But, after eight more records fell in the past month, the suit is causing some serious waves.

We like to see world records beaten. We like bigger explosions! (There should be bigger firework explosions at the games!) However, if the games really want to improve ratings and keep the spirit of the games I says give each athlete a crown of olive branches to wear, that is all just two twigs. That Greeks did some amazing things but playing sport in the buff! Wow.
