This is starting to look terribly familiar. Perhaps soccer should be moved to the Religion section?

And there was me thinking you were actually serious .

Is there an "all of the above, and more" option?

So I know they are old pictures, some of you might remember a powerpoint doing the rounds about 10 years ago. I like them and they are vaguely relevant to the thread...

My foot looked all fooked like one of those pictures after a soccer match a few years ago. It looked so weird lying on the grass pointing the wrong way I pushed it back the way it should be before the body chemicals wore off. The most amazing thing was how I heard my fibula snap initially but felt nothing. Mmmmm. Natural gear.

When does this poll close? If it stays the way it is right now I shall hold my vote until the very last moment when I can be the one to bring balance to the force.

Well I popped into this thread to see how the poll was going only to be confronted by images that would not be out of place in some kind of 'torture-porn' movie.
