Five Rings To Bind Them All

In The Lord of the Rings, it only took "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the Darkness bind them." For the Olympics, it takes five rings.

But hey, there were far fewer countries in Middle Earth than there are now.

Here's some interesting background on the Olympic rings. I knew some, but not all of this, but my Olympic knowledge probably isn't up to par with the rest of you.

The Olympic Games begin in Athens in 14 days. NBC broadcast schedule. Clear out some space on your TiVos.
