Got Nuts?

Yes, the british are a refined people. Respectful, polite, proper in their art of cueing, and they take pride in their ability to speak less than americans. However, they do have a darker side that manifests itself in the strange sport of "Conkers".

Horse chestnuts are strung on 12" lengths of string. People then strike their conker at an opponents conker with the hope of smashing it.

It is a quaint classic sport that makes the morning news. You will even find that there is a world championship held every October. You can find its website at
