The Olympic Torch

[Grumpmeister]

I've got a question about the torch, the Chinese want to take it up over Everest, how's that going to work? Surely the lack of oxygen is going to at least cause a problem?

They'll use one of those new LED torches prolly...

Do they keep it lit on the plane too?

Yes, they do Nick. If I was a smoker on that flight I'd be getting in a real strop as I couldnt spark up.


As for Everest I'd decided that if the flame goes out they'll just blame the Dali Lama and say he changed the weather over the mountain.
