No... I'm not talking football... I'm talking the 41st World Conker Championship! 


I used to play conkers as a kid.  What a fantastic game it is, too!  Yay!

Ok, so what exactly are the rules governing conkers?  Seems like a fun game, from what I gathered from the website linked on the BBC article.  Then again, the site was French, and therefore of dubious credibility.


(Had to take a shot at the French, it's my patriotic duty.  Apparently.)

It's everyone's duty to take a shot at the f rench, dude.


As for the rules... not a clue.  All I remember is that you had to hit the other guy's conker as hard as you could!  First one to fall off the string loses!

<CAUTION - TASTLESS ATTEMPT AT HUMOR>


Maybe someone should invent a variation, only instead of conkers: babies!

But... that means I'll have to stop soaking them in vinegar and baking them 'til they're hard.

There's a fine line between courage and stupidity, Brian. Not sure where my reply fell in, there...


And, thanks, Stead-man.
