Sunday Stealing winter olympics

Brrr

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on the WTIT Blog with Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. You may have heard

 the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that

 age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from, if possible. We also provide a link to the victim's questions in our "Previous Victims" widget. 

(It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit 

the original meme, to make it more relevant to our

 global players, to challenge our players, to select the

 best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive 

from recently asked questions from a previously post.

 Cheers to all of us thieves!
