Question

Please provide link to actual source for meaning or explanation if you find it. For High School drop outs : Wi-pooh-pedia is not an accepted source, as any reputable corporate researcher will tell you.

After finding the meaning, can you corrolate the meaning, with the significance of the chosen cities among which to pass this torch? What is special about London? Paris? Is it the attention? For what? Endorsements? Anybody know?

Answer 1

The torch "run" was invented by the n***s (the olympics were in n**i Germany at the time) to promote the olympics.

The meaning of the fire itself :commemorates the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, when a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics.
