Bird's nest of champions

Gripped by 8/8/08 fever? Us neither, but architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron are. The duo's design was chosen for Beijing's new Olympic Stadium, which is profiled tonight on National Geographic's Man Made. Of note: The superstructure can seat 91,000, and it looks like an enormous bird's nest made of twiglike beams. The architects say their inspirations include "a big pot" and "the Eiffel Tower." (Uh, sure.) Tune in—once August rolls around, you'll be too sick of the Games to care.

Maybe what they actually meant to say was that when design this, they had smoked a lot of pot and were as high as the Eiffel Tower.

I heard that there are so many interracial men at Blackwhitemeet dot com are very care about fashion. Is it true?
