Mad rush

According to archaeological study, as early as six or seven thousand years ago, the clan of Banpo Village in China began to kick stone balls as entertainment.

The Chinese have a stake in everything! Even soccer! Sure didn't look like it at the last World Cup but they will be presenting their case in Germany. Hey if you asked me, that's one other way to send a "soccer" team to the World Cup if you can't actually qualify for it!

That toaster you're using, the Chinese came up with one that's made of hay 5746 years ago. This laptop I'm typing on, yeap, they came up with something like this made of clay and twigs during the time of Confucius and uh huh, they invented the world's first toilet too.

They just didn't use it a lot and the idea caught on in the West before coming back to these parts during the Great East India Sale when every European country made a mad scramble to colonise any piece of land they landed on.
