I've gotta say you're right. In college we thought lacrosse was tougher than football ( mainly because there was much less protection and you had a weapon in your hands to hit people with - oh, and because as a very preppy private school we could beat Ohio State <g> ) And then my senior year they introduced rugby and we decided that was the sport for guys who were just too mean or too drunk <s> to play either football or lacrosse.
I troll the sports channels looking for big league rugby. I have Argentian/Scotland and England/France on TIVO now and plan to watch tonight( DON'T tell me who won - you can actually read the sports page here without finding out <s> )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
