the beijing 2008 mascots

the mascots have arrived. the mascots are named beibei, jingjing, huanhuan, yingying, and nini. heres the cool part (and its on the beijing 2008 website). take the first syllable in each name and you get the phrase "beijing huan ying ni" (i hope i got that right) which means welcome to beijing. cool.
