be fierce warriors, enough of a problem that the Romans built a wall clear<br>
across Briton (I have seen it). I don't know of any warrior groups that<br>

I have a zen koan for that: <br>
<br>
Baseball schmaseball.<br>
<br>
It was said to have been coined by Buddha's Jewish friend. The game has<br>
been played to death, way past death. Boring. They need to spice it up<br>
with some cheerleaders or green women who run around the bases and distract<br>
the players or something to inject some desperately-needed novelty, sheesh.<br>
The steroids helped a little (at least you get to see these gorillas swat it<br>
out of the park (but then they try to say that is cheating (oy vey.)))<br>
