The Beijing Olympics: Are They A Trap?

China has spent millions of dollars on the birds nest in Beijing. Other countries believe that the Beijing Olympics could be a trap.

People think that the Chinese governments have set up traps to catch athletes. They say that the Chinese have dug up holes and put leaves around them to cover up the evidence.

I think that the people are getting a bit crazy; I’m not sure why they think that they have set up traps, but obviously I think that they are crazy.

There are no holes and traps covered by leaves to catch athletes, and there aren’t any Chinese athletes that train to come killing machines.

2-Year-Old Donkey Called Up To Pro Donkey Basketball League

Donkeys playing Basketball! Sounds weird, but it’s all true, young Scraps is playing at the top level, signed by the coach for 50 pounds of feed corns a day, the record.

At 15 months old, he is playing under crowds of 200-300 people watching him. Scraps is training well and is in shape, Coach says he is eating healthy and his playing at his best.

This sport is good for the public to watch; it is a very entertaining sport and would be a funny one to watch. It would be good to see how donkeys react to what’s happening around them.

Good luck to Scraps, I no he would be a success in the future for his team.
