Though I’m not the greatest fan of this “hit’n'giggle” version of the game.

Maybe the US could make the world happy by unilaterally disarming nukewise, and sending them to the Non-Imperial Super-Power everyone loves.

Australia wins Cricket World Cup!

The non-imperial super-power of cricket has won the final of the Cricket World Cup in a match marred by weather and some bizarre administrative decisions near the end of the match. Confusion reigned as the Sri Lankan batsmen accepted a light appeal with their team in a hopeless position.

The Australian team thought the game was over and started celebrating, and congratulations were even signalled by the scoreboard. But then the light improved and the batsmen were required to return to play out the rest of the match.

That said…. Ever wonder what France would be like if it was populated by Italians and vice a verceee? Would the Russians be speaking Latin?
