A while back, I read an article on Slate.com about Beijing’s pollution problem. The city is terrible. The government regulates with extremely low standards so cars and factories emit double the amount of volatile gases that would be allowed in the US. The government has even planned to shoot these giant weather bullets into the clouds during the coming Olympics in order to reduce the number of cloudy days, which sounds more magical than realistic.

Slate.com’s Michelle Tsai predicts that the number of world records breaking would be far less than those of Olympics-past. That’s probably true. Most likely that’s what’ll happen. But imagine rather than interfering with the Olympians, it actually helps them!? Yeah, sure, my medical background consists of some health classes in high school, those Pepto-Bismol commercials

and a Nobel Prize in the study of gastroenterology, but! it would be wild if these Olympians get pumped from all this pollution, albeit at the cost of longevity, and just break non-stop records. I mean, when the Hulk was exposed, he just grew stronger, right? okay, ridiculous.
