Yeah, what in the hell IS that thing, anyway?!?

Well, this has absolutely nothing to do with fanfiction, but since I brought
it up...

Whatisit is an amorphous thing that can computer morph into an athlete of
any sport.  It's part of the high-tech theme of the olympics.  Too bad
it's lamer than an... uh... really lame thing (apologies to UF.  I had to
bring fanfic in somehow).  Of course, around here they couldn't really go
with a historic theme.
