made in china

well here's one good reason to not be a world class athlete – lead poisoning. apparently the gold medals being awarded at the Olympics in beijing are 99% lead alloy, and covered in a gold-colored lead-based paint.

don't worry, china has a solution: "we are urging all first-place athletes not to lick, taste, or suck on their medals."
