Only one country has a scam named after its legal code because it is so ubiquitous. You guessed it Nigeria.

Calm down.
They are called Nigerian scams because the first wave of them on the internet came from Nigeria, but they can come from anywhere in the world.
The advanced payment scam actually goes back to the late 18th or early 19th century in Europe. Rightly or wrongly Nigeria is stuck with the reputation now because of the internet publicity.

They're not missionaires flying care packages to starving kids in Africa, okay? Don't worry, their girlfriends will have new pimps before the milk in the refrigerator goes bad.
Which movie?

That is correct.
You DO know the purpose of the game is not actually guessing the title, right?

Are you suggesting that your boss is a pimp?
Because that would make you...I'm not going there, and I don't think you should either!

Explains a lot: I'm guessing it's so that it bounces in a straight line. Looking at the players, I think their heads might explode if they had to deal with a real ball bouncing!
Apparently, they aren't supposed to use their hands to control it either - but that doesn't seem to stop them all.

When Association Football was being codified the original draft of the rules by the FA included
Quote: IX. A player shall be entitled to run with the ball towards his adversaries' goal if he makes a fair catch, or catches the ball on the first bound; but in case of a fair catch, if he makes his mark he shall not run.
this was only removed from the laws at the fifth meeting to draw them up.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

So you are asking if we also knew that and now forgot it?
And I do not believe you! The World of Warcraft World Cup has no ball (in game), or so I am told. What other world cup could you be talking about that is of significance for non Nederland supporters?

I don't believe that.
When I see how the players react when they are hit in the leg, it makes me think its with sharp edges and spikes all over.
