Sega (previously arch-enemy of Nintendo) bow out of the console market and cease production of the Dreamcast.
Sega (previously arch-enemy of Nintendo) now hop into bed with their old enemy, with various parts of Sega offering 'exclusives' like Sonic for the Gamecube as well as other TOP titles for Nintendo's new console as well as the X-Box and GBA.
Nintendo (now best pals with their old ex-enemy Sega) agree, and announce this 'partnership' and start allowing Sega games to be launched with their flagship console, the Gamecube.
Sega (the ultimate back-stabber in the game industry), bide their time, wait until all the Japanese and American Ninty's get brainwashed by these amazing Sega games, and then START UP PRODUCTION OF THE DREAMCAST AGAIN!!!!!
What are Nintendo supposed to think? Their new-found ally has all of a sudden turned around and begun churning out cut-price consoles again. A console that can only be seen by others as a direct threat to Gamecube, PS2 and XBox.
Who said console wars were boring?

OMG, I posted exactly what Dringo said in Prime about 16 hours before me. Great minds think alike. Sorry Dringo mate if my topic looks EXACTLY the same as yours, it's a complete fluke. I just noticed it.

Cambodian Cheese Hurling.
Two people stand some 30 meters away, and take it in turns to hurl lumps of cheese at each other.
Any cheese is allowed, obviously the harder the cheese the better. Some well used ones include:
Crottin de Chavignol
Description:
The true Crottin de Chavignol is produced from the raw milk of an alpine race of goats, easily recognized by their brown thick coats. This is one of the rare cheeses that can be eaten at different stages of maturity. Fresh from the cheese vat, it is often eaten clothed in fine herbs and at this stage in the maturing process it has a creamy, nutty taste. After about six weeks, the smell is stronger and its pâté becomes dry and brittle and has a harder texture with a pronounced flavor. After this period, the cheese continues to mature and the robust taste increases, but is never sour. The rind becomes rough and hard over time.
Parmigiano Reggiano
Description:
Pamigiano-Reggiano is a traditional, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from cow's, skimmed milk. It has a shape of a drum with sticky, hard, yellow to orange rind. Parmigiano Reggiano weighs 75 lbs. and must be cut by a saw. The aroma is sweet and fruity, the color fresh yellow and the taste - fruity, like pineapple. Parmigiano Reggiano's flavor is unmistakably piquant. Primarily, a grating cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano is a great topping for soups, pasta dishes, veal chicken or salads. In Italy, this cheese is sold in large, grainy chunks, chiseled from the shiny drum that carries its name emblazoned on the rind.
Stinking Bishop
Description:
Stinking Bishop is a vegetarian cheese that comes from England, Gloucestershire. This cheese was created by Charles Martell. It is similar to Munster and is washed and rubbed with perry, an alcoholic drink made with a local variety of pear called "Stinking Bishop". It has a meaty flavour and the fat content is 48%. The affinage takes from six to eight weeks.
Neither player is allowed to move when the other is throwing their cheese. To make sure this happens, both contenders are cemented to the ground for the duration of the game.
The winner is the person who successfully knocks out their opponent with a blow to the head.
