Mr Brown, your relationship with America is about to be tested.
Until only yesterday I would have said that the Olympics were the last real example of displaced warfare. Lots of metaphorical and literal flexing of muscles in a thinly disguised version of kicking sand in the 7 stone weakling’s face.

Hmmm…. Is Wikipedia too frightening for you? Then why not try Conservapedia instead? Guaranteed to have excised any facts that may hurt your ever more fragile faith.
Gah!
Yet more science vs. religion.
I think these people should think very carefully about the danger of false positives.
I mean really, you can’t even arrange a good old traditional bare knuckle toddler fight without some PC nanny-statist getting on your back.
As the man who sent me the link said, this country is run by geniuses.
