Nobody else is seeing the "hand turkey" in Madrid's design? You know, how you used to draw an outline of your hand and then make it into a turkey for Thanksgiving (US kids, anyway)? And yes, I see that red middle finger, too.
The Olympics are very...tight about the use of their name, logo, etc. Years ago, I used to participate in the "Olympics of the Mind" creative competitions.

I grew up in a house that was built in 1900. In that part of the country, that's an oldish house. But it always used to fascinate me to go to the cemetery and see stones dating back to the 1870s. Again, this was Texas, so that's old. But you can drive all day and still be in Texas. :)
