Imagine How He'll Tumble Around The House

Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner are the parents of a baby boy:

Dylan Paul was born Saturday, the first child for the gold-medal winning gymnasts.

The 44-year-old Comaneci delivered Dylan by Caesarean section Saturday morning. The delivery room staff created a poster proclaiming the boy a "perfect 10."

...but the Soviet nurse only gave Nadia a 7.8 on her delivery.

Is that in metric units?

A while back I said something to some younger co-workers, about a good job done, that was along the lines of "That gets a 10 even from the East German judge". Talk about blank looks.

Have you ever seen the east German Women's Volleyball Team in "Top Secret"? More hair than Bingley and that's just their underarms. They also sing the national anthem as they present nick with a medal:

[the East German national anthem]

All: Hail, hail East Germany

Land of fruit and grape

Land where you'll regret

If you try to escape

No matter if you tunnel under

or take a running jump at the wall

Forget it, the guards will kill you,

if the electrified fence doesn't first.

(The translation's a little rough...)
