Just Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman (very funny book). Being a colonist I don\'t always get some of the idioms from across the pond. Some of the characters, upon seeing something awesome would exclaim \'cor!!\' Any elaboration on the word? Never heard that one before.

as i understand it, hitler came up with the idea of the olympic torch

No, Hitler did not invent the torch relay.
It was invented by Carl Diem who was a sport scientist and functionary and the founder of the sport university in Berlin.

The only thing Hitler invented was a bad haircut.
