The Olympic Torch took evasive action on San Francisco. It was here and not. The best part of this fiasco was the Twitter coverage .
My personal favorite: chadcat : if the Torch goes on a boat what will the runners do, jog on a treadmill?

zoliblog CBS says torch still inside Pier48. Others reported it left in a bus, othes that it’s on a boat
zoliblog If nobody sees the torch, it’s secretly driven around, can SF claim they actually had it here?
