Gardeners might care to know that, apart from Coca-Cola (a useful brass cleaner) and McDonald's (noted suppliers of fat-forming food) one of the "Worldwide Partners" of the Olympics is Dow Chemicals, makers of aminopyralid herbicides. The "greenest Olympics ever" indeed!

Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.
