Via ESPN via Mental_Floss:

There are 55 languages spoken at the Beijing Olympics. And they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

ESPN has provided captions for some Olympic photos. Some of my favorites:

“Hurry! Michael Phelps is gaining on us!”

“Tell these people to stop laughing at my outie!”

“Oh, no! River pirates!”

“What did you expect? You hold the medal ceremony in the morning, I’m going to show up in my bathrobe.”
