While perusing the official website of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, a particular winner just happened to catch our eye:
So to what has become a daily glut of gold medals for host China. The place to start has to be gymnastics, where 23-year-old Chen Yibing, the co-called “Lord of The Rings,” won China’s first gold medal in the Men’s Rings since the legendary Li Ning shared gold with Japan’s Gushiken Koji at Los Angeles 1984.

Ringer forum member Elf_Wannabe posted a great link to a very interesting Ent-like image originally published on the ‘Coast to Coast AM’ website.

Check out the full image at the ‘Coast to Coast’ website and then discuss it in our message board community! [Full Cactus Image]
