A while back I published a blog post that claimed that Mount Everest was not the highest or even the biggest mountain on the Earth. Today I am going to make another startling claim: the recently closed 2012 Olympics were won not by the United States, China, Russia, or even host country United Kingdom. No, the 2012 Olympics were won by: (drum roll please) Grenada. Yes, that Grenada.

As a community, BOB started out in the middle of the 1990’s, known then as the BUSOB-L mailing list. We converted over to a web-based bulletin board format in 2002. If you do the math, that would mean that 2012 is our 10^th birthday. I spoke with Courtney Bjorlin (follow her on Twitter @cbjorlin) of asugnews.com a few weeks ago and reminded her about our milestone, and she wrote up a fun top-ten list in honor of that anniversary.

If you haven’t read it yet, and you’re a fan of BOB, you definitely should give it a read.
