Will Athens Olympics be a Greek tragicomedy?

What I learned from this article: 1) In greece you can find falafel 2) The Greek currency is drachma 3) Swimming in August under heat results in spectators been cooked. 3) Scott is not very keen in having showers 4) Scott fantasizes about the actress of the torch-lighting ceremony. Well, after some research I found out that Numbers 1, and 2 are not correct. It took me some more time to establish that No 3 is also a lie (swimming venues in the Olympic Games in 1984 in Los Angeles, in 1992 in Barcelona and the US trials in 2004 in Long Beach - with a climate similar to that of Athens – also did not have a roof. I could not find any reports of spectators been cooked on these events). As far as Numbers 4 and 5 are concerned, I am personaly not interested. Still care to take seriously this article....?
