Olympic mascots for Beijing 2008

I didn't know that the Spice Girls had reformed for this????

NO..It's the Take That reunion isn't it

I saw on the news that Jackie Chan was doing some stupid ceremony with the "mascots". Man, has he fallen on hard times...

Unless, of course, he is one of the mascots...

Which one is Bint Spice?

Where's Donkey Spice??

Why is it Beijing? I thought the city is called Peking. Can anyone explain?

"An older Western name for Beijing is Peking"

Okay, I'd go with the older Western tradition :)

The term originated with French missionaries four hundred years ago, and corresponds to an older, now obsolete pronunciation...

Say Mr. Barcode, I was wondering, what word do you use for Londinium?

They stand for the elements and the five olympic rings. As I understood one of the elements is forest... I didn't know that forest is an element.

Thought the mascot was this guy:

Tiana the Tank.
