Others: Balancing Nuts (?!)

It is a rare opportunity to watch simultaneously the spread of a highly contagious viral meme (infectious idea) and the launch of a potentially Olympic™ calibre sport. What is known is that founders of the new Flickr™ Photo Pool Peanut Balancing claim Dave Gorman (A Learner on this site and promulgator of Pocket Rock Balancing) as the inspiration for their endeavours. And he, in turn, puts the reponsibility on Bill Dan. That the idea is catching, particularly in the drafty, sodden environment of the British pub, should surprise no one. What is surprising is the degree of eye-hand co-ordination that is retained despite time spent with one elbow on a shiny bar. These folk are champions of ambition, at least, and with apparent success against the odds.
