Collin,
Say what you will about WNBA or synchronized swimming. Truly, any "sport" where the participants are marked on the amount of sequins they have on their swimsuits, the amount of hairgel and makeup they wear (I'm talking synch swimming here, not WWF wrestiling, btw), is no sport.
But, please, please, please, don't say bad things about lacrosse. Especially "box lacrosse" (the indoor game played in a hockey arena - without the ice, of course). Lacrosse is kinda like hockey, but more violent. With more goals. And fewer fights. Great entertainment, and those guys have to be strong, in great shape, and tough as hell.
Plus, it's officially the National Sport of the Great White North (Canada, for those of you who don't know). Not hockey, as most people think, but lacrosse. Our national sport. True North Strong and Free, baby!!
In the spirit of the fine fellowship of the wonderful list, I forgive you for your transgression. I'm assuming that you've never seen a real lacrosse game.
<vbg with tongue in cheek - but quite serious about the lacrosse stuff>
cheers, frank

I am the proud owner of an *istD. Just a few questions.
1.) Is digital photography better than film photography? For you my boy, yes.
2.) So, how does this thing work? Smoke.
3.) If I use this camera, will I go blind? No. It's not quite as good as sex. Here ... try this Canon...
4.) What's the capital of South Dakota? What's a South Dakota?
5.) Who was the guitar player on "Whiter Shade of Pale?" Jack Klugman.
6.) If I try real hard, can I put film in the camera? Go ahead. It's under warranty.
7.) When I get finished reading the manual, will I be able to play the piano?
I don't see why not.
8.) If I take a picture in RAW format, import it into Photoshop, and adjust
the image size correctly for a usable print, will I see God?
That's the one PS option everyone is asking for.
And Benny Hinn can slay you on a moment's notice if needed.
9.) Do I have to give up my membership in the Real Photographers Guild? Yup. You're now a fake photographer.
10.) Is a family in Rochester NY now going hungry because of me? Thirteen, in fact.
11.) Will my desk now become organized?
You'll not see any more negatives added to the stack. I promise. Trust me.
12.) Will women now find me attractive? How many (more) women do you want?
13.) Does anything rhyme with "eucalyptus"? People often make rhymes with their lips.
14.) Can I ask random people for spare Compact Flash cards? Sure. Go ahead.
15.) How does the Infield Fly Rule work? Who cares. It does. And at least it's not football or some other sad excuse for a sport. Like the WNBA or LaCrosse or synchronized swimming.
And in conclusion ... --- be alert for more announcements of this sort -- CUBS WIN!!!!
