I was watching tv the other day and there was a program on about the top 10 camp tv people in the uk. It showed a clip of The Generation Game with Larry Grayson. The Generation Game was a show where contestants had to watch some almost immpossible task and then learn the said task to earn points and (dumb) prizes. I couldn't believe my eyes when the clip they showed had some Maouris in grass skirts trying to teach a contestant poi. I guess no one scored many points for that one cos you only had about five minutes to learn. This is possibly the earliest showing on Tv of poi spinning.

If a tree falls in a forest with no one to witness it...do the other trees laugh?
