Perhaps lead to a new sport?

Who knows, but regardless, it opens the doors to many possibilities! Enjoy contemplating.

There's a thread going right now about subliminal advertising and the like and I just wanted to mention something.

Sorry if I should have posted this in the other thread but, all is one and all.
