What about the Holy Pillar Festival in Japan? You need to see the video to understand how insane it really is:

Wall ball was all the rage here in elementary school. You were a nobody i if you didn't play before and after school. We played right on the front out the school building on a huge brick wall. IIRC a fee windows got broken but they never crap us down.

mayan basketball court:





no ball though, they used the skulls of their enemies. thats serious!

Traditionally it was played with solid rubber balls. Native Americans also played it. Also there where no hands allowed, they dribbled and passed with their feet, and the only way to score was by bouncing the ball off of their hips and through the hoop! Sounds easy huh?

Was that pic taken near Mexico City? I toured that place (I believe it was at the anthropological museum there). Very interesting, unusual sport.

where are the brits? and what can you tell us about shrovetide?

the firewall @ work is blocking youtube, search shrovetide! apparently it's the great grandfather off all football/rugby/soccer sports.

1 town, 2 teams (each from one 1/2 of the town) fight for 3 days to score.

Not so much odd as sad.
