Nature v Nurture. I'm glad I was raised in an eccentric quirky
culture, but I suspect some of my wiring was not inspected ;-)

Now then, what's wrong with a 5-day game watched by 10 people
in the blazing sun that gets rained out in the last half-hour and
ends in a draw ?

If you were expecting to see bits dropping off them because of
poor quality control, you may be better looking at bodies from
other countries (no names, no pack drill)

I did read a couple of medical and WHO survey pieces on the
web once about how certain populations are genetically pre-
disposed to certain traits, and that culture stems from those traits,
which in turn reinforces the traits and so on. It's hard to give an
example of one country without negatively implicating another
country and offending someone, so you'll have to work that one
out for yourself. Think "hard worker" or "sense of humour" and
see where your mind wanders
