The Olympics in 140 Characters Or Fewer

Web magazine of ridiculous rhetorical questions Slate is live-blogging the Olympics! Or rather, they're live-Twittering it, because that's cooler. This is in case you find yourself unable to find any of NBC's 3,600 hours of Olympics coverage or NBCOlympics.com. So what fun tidbits are stuffed inside Slate's Twitter feed of sport?

• 'Michael Phelps' new goatee: least intimidating facial hair since Kenny Loggins circa "I'm Alright."'

• 'Flag-bearer Lopez Lomong does more for Lost Boy awareness than Dave Eggers. Wondering if there were Lost Girls?'

• 'Both Hamm twins are out of the Olympics. Are their injuries identical or fraternal?'
