I really hope the opening ceremonies for the Olympics is just one rosy cheeked 60 something Russian man explaining the history of Russia at a table as he gets progressively more drunk. I'd be an honest representation of modern Russia at least

I remember hearing Henry Rollins do a bit about getting seriously bad watery shits from drinking the tap water in Moscow.

I'd wager it was the Sims, where you plonk down multiples of one item just to boost the room score.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
