Kotaku Off Topic: Stop The World [How Is This News?]

http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets...500x_tzone.jpgPlease, Kotaku Off Topic commenters and contributors, bring some sanity to the site. This has already been a very weird week for the video game industry and it's only Monday.
We could all use something to ground us. Personally, something beyond tonight's selection of beers would be appreciated, so enjoyable trivia, lighthearted conversation about the topic of your choice, and amusing links to not necessarily video game related things are encouraged.
Look here's some of that now!

• Fractions of a Second: An Olympic Musical - NY Times offers auralization of Olympic finishes. Amazing just how close these races are.
• Body acoustics can turn your arm into a touchscreen - See you guys in the future!
