    Word is quickly spreading that the Superman's Fortress of Solitude-like Winter Olympic cauldron in the middle of BC Place malfunctioned during the Opening Ceremonies, as only three of four "ice spiers" rose as expected, making for an awkward moment in the Opening Ceremony's climactic torch-lighting pageantry.
