Olympics To Merge With X-Games

Silliness.

Skateboarding could make its Olympic debut at London 2012, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced.

The IOC has been holding talks with skateboarding officials in Switzerland to agree a timetable for the sport's inclusion, though it will first need to be formally recognised as a sport.

They go on to ask for readers' suggestions about other sports they'd like to see considered in the future.

Hey, it's been a while since we've had a top ten around here.

Top Ten Sports I'd Like To See Considered For The Olympics:

10. Freestyle Bond-Trading

9. Parallel Gay Bars

8. Heavy Water Polo

7. Russian Biathlon (Vodka Shots, Contracting Hepatitis)

6. 100 Meter Unplanned Pregnancy

5. MILF Hunting

4. Running Down Manatees With Powerboats

3. Synchronized Mail Fraud

2. Two-Man Doggystyle Canadian Luge

And the Number One Sport I'd like to see?

1. Muff Diving

That last one feels stolen, but my meager Google skillz aren't coming up with anything, so it stays.

Also, did you know that live pigeon shooting was an event one year?

And:

Related. Thanks to Dave in Texas for that one.
