Pretty busy lately so no time to think of anything of consequence, but I wanted to have at least 3 posts a week so I will tell you what I learned this weekend at the Sumo tournament.

A military dictatorship was established in Kamakura in 1192 and a long period of intense warfare ensued. Sumo, quite naturally, was regarded chiefly for it's military usefulness and as a means of increasing the efficiency of the fighting men. Later in the hands of the samurai, jujitsu was developed as an offshoot of sumo.

I did not know that.

Recently there has been an unusually high number of people from Michigan at the hash. This weekTLH3 Shirokane-Takana-blahblah we had a little quiz to see who (not from Michigan) could best describe where Michigan is. The winner was "in the north part" the rest were so far off it makes me fear for the future of the human race. Answers ranged from " west of Chicago "Read her lips... Michigan is west of Chicago. to my favorite, "Arizona".See the guy who thinks Michigan is in Arizona.
