Olympics sign off

As i watch the olympic closing ceremony, a stream of thoughts starts to trickle through my mind. All the thrills and spills, the highs and lows of the last few days. But before I get on with that thread, heres a phd comic, an original one .. --------------------------------------------------- scene: discussion in lab about olympic success .. French guy (complaining as usual): 34 medals but only 5 golds, we are lot better than what the standings show .. Spanish guy : whatever the tally suggests is one thing, but Nadal is truly something .. German (ambitious as ever) : umm .. 14 gold is just about ok, but we can and should do lot better .. British guy (doesnt know a thing abt sport otherwise): our success is quantified - 1.5 All: ??? British: you see, Australia have 12 gold and we have 18, so 18/12 = 1.5. Indian (beaming and seemingly happiest of the lot): We did infinitely well this time. All: ?????????? Indian: you see, Pakistan has 0 medals and we have 3, so 3/0 = infinity. ----------
