 * Delete per nom - and I dispute the game's originality too. - Just zis Guy, you know? 22:12, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep We had to play this 'sport' in my high school, and I grew up in Upstate New York. I suspect that many high schools in between had to as well.  --Bletch 13:16, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * In which case it probably wasn't invented by the people claimed in the article. Verification, anyone? - Just zis Guy, you know? 13:33, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Just to add more information; I graduated high school in 1994, so this has been around for at least 14+ years. Maybe this is original research, but we've always suspected that this was a sport featured in some hypothetical magazine for gym teachers.  It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the author of this article went to the school where this sport originated.  But then again, we suspected that it was our gym teachers that came up with the thing. --Bletch 18:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
