Re: OT - My Other Hobby
I'de be real careful who I showed them to, out here in Australia the Aboriginals backed by the government would probably come out and take them from you, so the Aboriginals could throw them in the bush again, cause they probably don't give give a rat's bottom about them unless of course you have them.

I tend to go with Wilt because no one has ever dominated the game like he did, I don't think he would have any trouble playing in to day's game, in fact I think half of the modern day Center's wouldn't go on the court if they knew Wilt was waiting for them.
