The three of us watched the `2010 Olympics Closing Ceremony`. I was rather pleased to learn about Canada of snow-filled landscapes beavers, moose, ice hockey and maple leaves and about its people, who say `Sorry` frequently: lumberjacks, mounted police and famous actors, like William Shatner, Catherine O’Hara and Michel J. Fox.

I liked the projections upon the circular screen above and upon the floor below; the hand off of the Olympic flag from the Mayor of Vancouver to the IOC President and then to the Russian; the touching speech by John Furlong, CEO of the Vancouver Organizing Committee; and of course the singers of the Russian National Anthem and the butterfly lady and ballad dancers.

However, I saw lots of stuff that is not mundane. First, the central theme of the stadium is the burning torches of five flames. That reminds me of a five-pointed star. The participants formed an eyeball in the middle of the stadium: the pupils are the five-flaming torches; the iris is circular and the out rim is ovoid in shape.

There were pixilated glitches for two Americans: One was the `Flying Tomato`, who was walking away after he said a few words and the other was the Lindsey Vonn, who was seated and looking up at the snow falling while Neil Young was singing.
