to turin or torino?

There seems to be some confusion regarding where the next 2006 Olympics are taking place. Is it Turin or Torino? Some investigative work I’ve done.

Per the official Torino 2006 website, they’re calling it “Torino.”

However, the Italy Tourism website seems conflicted, identifying the city as Turin and Torino in a variety of places.

The official Olympics website seems to own up to the actual city name even though the Torino logo is plastered everywhere.

a random array of things

A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”

“Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband!” said the wife. The fairy waved her magic wand and – poof! – two tickets for the Queen Mary II luxury liner appeared in her hands.
