Re: Failed Attempt to Swallow a Bullet
Bullet swallowers are a dying breed. The sport first rose to prominence at the 1896 Olympics games in Athens. Popularity grew for this eccentric sport & soon overtook "feeding christians to Lions" as the most watched event ever. However it started to lose its appeal once "Jew gassing" was introduced by the Germans in the mid 1900's. Finally by 1980 when the home team Russia failed to win a single medal in "Russian Roulette" in both singles & teams events at the Moscow Olympics the sport was basically finished. Bullet swallowing failed to capture the imagination on an International scale & these days is only played by amateurs in most uncivilised countries. Only Columbia can lay claims to continue bullet swallowing at a professional level. |
