I know of someone who was on holiday in Ireland (Republic of) who
suffered severe spinal injuries due to a cow jumping over a wall onto
the  car roof.  Apparently  the car looked as though a Volvo had
fallen on it from a great hight.

Is there any other currency? It's all based on trust: the trust that the
currency still will have value tomorrow. Watch the USD exchange rate and
see what happens when the trust diminishes. (The gold standard doesn't
change this; it just replaces the trust in a government with the trust in
people in general always hording gold and nobody finding a way to "make"
cheap gold and neither a big, really big mine.)

The result went against him, but to my untrained eye both
were about equal and quite competent enough for me to not
want to get anywhere near such action. Doesn't really hurt
while you are doing it, apparently. I was impressed by the
apparent genuineness of the interactions after the fight.
Hopefully we can manage this as well in all cases on
PICList. By the time he gets to Thailand he'll be doing this
without the protective midriff or other softening, except
for the gloves. Seems to me that gloves are not the greatest
of one's fears here :-).

It appears to me that the flames on the shorts of his opponent really  
made a big difference.  Are they allowed to kick each other in the  
nut-crackers ?

No, you can't. You probably don't want to hit him there anyway coz the
groin guards are made out of steel.

Well this is getting waaay off topic, but I used to do Karate when I
was 18 or so, we didn't wear guards, but I know of someone who broke
their toe, by foot connection to the pubis, they were actually aiming
for a side kick to the inside of the leg, but sort of got their
trajectory wrong.

I noticed that your toe guard kept falling off.  Did you later give  
the installer a kick in the arse ?
