BWahahaha, I've seen no end of people that have won a competition within 
their own group,(not style but group), of various martial arts and then 
claim that they are world champions. A lot of them couldn't stand up to a 
fart, it makes you wonder where they get the nerve to do it.
  I'm actually surprised that the raptors are still playing in Toronto 
what with the American habit of moving team franchises around,<mutters>
stoopid yanks moving the bloody Expos </mutters>
