一小学老师在和学生解释“乳”，乳即是小的意思，
比如乳鸽，乳猪等。之后老师要求小强造句。

小强：老师， 我真得想不出来了， 我的乳头都快想破了。

I got this joke from cnreviews.com about how many swimming world records (WR) / Olympics records (OR) have been smashed in the Water Cube （水立方) - National Aquatic Center（国家游泳中心) since the first day of 29th Beijing Olympic Games.

A: Hi, I just “smashed” a world record in a semi-final contest.
B: Oh, that’s great! Congratulations! Wish you a gold medal in the final.
A: Well, thank you. but I didn’t make into the final.
B: ….

Even you broke a world record, you might not even qualify for the final contest.

So, different theories about the world record making secrets have “revealed” on the web. Here are the top 3 most popular ones:

1. Speedo LZR RACER Swimming Suits

SULLIVAN Eamon from Australia said “it was very comfortable when wearing the Speedo LZR Racer.” Chinese Jiaying Pang said “it was like floating on the water after wearing it.” Speedo has done enough PR to show its high tech behind the “shark-skin”, but number is more convincing: 52 out of 56 swimming world records were set when athletes were wearing Speedo LZR Racer.

2. Technologies Used in Water Cube

4 key elements:

a. The error tolerance for the 50m swimming lane is only 2mm, far more less than international standard of 1cm.
b. Water quality is better. (I ever suspected special chemical was added lol)
c. The floor around the swimming pool is heated to keep the athletes warm before the game.
d. Water recirculating process technologies on the walls of the pool. They were designed and built to absorbed more currents/waves to reduce the resistance.
e. The pool is 1m deeper than general pools, which is also helpful in reducing the water resistance.

We all received email sent out today about the new office, and given the opportunity in naming the new building to walk away cash prize. A new microsite launched which can be accessible via Intranet.

Employees also voted for the most-wanted facilities, seems all prefer to have a Gym, Staff Lounge, Shower Facilities and many Movie Screenings! (Why not a swimming pool eh?)

I am actually looking forward for the move into new office, because it is nearer to my place which I can ride there in no time (less than 15 minutes), and so good the shower facilities there.
