From a somewhat, ahem, controversial blog. Still, this *would* explain a thing or two. Always wondered about it myself! So the explanation isn´t fresh air, exotic fruit, youghurt or clean country livin´, nah, it´s pension fraud or bad records all the way down.
A bit like the Tasaday, the 100th monkey, the Aquatic Ape Theory, Billy Meier, Sai Baba, Elvis sightings...all the urban legends of my childhood and teenhood.
Or am I just getting old and slightly jaded?
When I was a kid, I used to think that savate was a joke, taken from "The Adventures of Tintin". I pronounced the word wrong, too. Actually, it´s a real martial art from France. Not only that, all those spectacular kicks we associate with "Japanese" karate are actually from savate! They were introduced to Japan by a French military mission assisting the Meiji regime to modernize the land of the rising sun.
Seriously, did White people invent *everything*? Modern yoga, modern meditation, and now karate?!
White Boy Summer all over again!
