The Beijing Olympic Committee has created a series of itineraries for tourists to best use their time in China.
Simple, easy to read, comes with a map and includes meal stops and where to have them. Absolutely idiot proof.

Since the first mascot in Olympic history made its appearance at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, Olympic Mascots have become a main element of the Olympic image. As a unique and popular image full of vitality, a mascot is able to materialize the Olympic spirit, communicate the concepts of each Olympic Games, promote the history and culture of the host city and create a festive atmosphere for the Games.
A gallery of previous mascots is here
For the Beijing Olympics Mascots and their meanings go here
To view the strange mascots the Canadians have come up with for the 2010 Winter Olympics go here
And to see the mascots for the London Olympics take out a pen, and draw your own. There aren't any yet. But if you want to see a whole bunch of people making suggestions and witicisms then goto here

Cutesy wutsey screensavers and wallpapers from the Beijing Olympic Committee. Would be perfect to use as a threat to your children if they wont do their homework. I'm personally using the red mascot on a red flamey background on my work computer to prevent people from asking me too many questions.
