"We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day," Dmitry Kozak, the deputy prime minister who oversaw Russia's Olympic prep, told the Journal.

A spokesperson for Kozak later denied that hotel rooms or bathrooms in Sochi have surveillance cameras, according to the Journal. The spokesperson said Kozak was likely referring to surveillance done at hotel sites during construction.

According to Wikipedia, the average male ejaculate is around 10ml.

Therefore, by my calculations, that makes for a grand total of 1000L of semen to be produced during these games. If we assume a density for semen similar to that of water, that makes a grand total of 1 metric tonne of semen.


And that's not even taking into consideration wanking and blowjobs.

To be fair, I had the best time of my life learning Russian and Arabic at the same time. Asbuka is beautiful, and in cursive it's even more amazing to behold.
Seriously, you should all experience Russian in cursive at one point in your life. It's like a nightmare mixed with a dream. I'm Cajun, so I somewhat technically count as a dirty American. (Not really.)

Yes, laying on your side until a mogul pops you back up due to force is such a recovery.

Apparently all of the livestreams are like this on the CBC website - everyone's privy to the behind-the-scenes chitchat during the non-existent commercials. I doubt that it'll be as juicy during the games as during the opening (when everyone was full of anticipation), but you might want to be ready for the closing ceremony.

They took it down early this morning, so in preparation I will try and record the stream for the closing ceremonies.
