Bokdrol Spoeg

This is a sport in South Africa involving the spitting of kudu dung. A kudu is a kind of antelope and its dung is in the shape of tiny pellets that you can put in your mouth. The winner is the competitor who can spit their pellet furthest.

This is something I’ve learnt from one of the shows in the first series of “QI”, which I’ve been watching on my DVD.

Avoid the fresh ones.

Good game! I would have thought the winner should be the one who would not spit it the farthest.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Usually I'm a custom to this sort of stuff but this time it's just gross. O_o
