Answers:

What the hell does the 'omega' mean when it comes on the screen in the olympics?!?!?

they are common, operated with one hand, loud and easily portable. imagine trying to carry in a gong.

Does anybody have a list of where every olympics took place in?

What we need here is more cowbell.

I have just learned to FLY, what should i do?

They're a common noisemaker at most European ski events.
