The "buzz" from the London Olympics bunker is that the mascot will be "adventurous", and won't be an animal.
Lord Coe has semi spilt the beans, he has been telling the USA media that the mascots are a child friendly creation formed from a drop of steel from the Olympic Stadium.
Seemingly the mascots are based on a story by children's author Michael Morpurgo, and are aimed aimed particularly at children.
Why would that be?
Well, the games are all about money and the mascots will be sold. Child "I want one" power is an effective marketing tool.
I wonder if it will receive the same "warm" welcome that the "Lisa Simpson Gives Head" logo received?
I'll hazard a guess that it's a couple of marbles.

Had a quick look on the Morpurgo site, and surmise that it might be a garden gnome (Mr Skip - With Mr Skip, anything is possible!) or more appropriately, an albatross (Little Albatross)..
