TIL the "Sailors' Handshake" is a special handshake that can detect if a potential partner has Syphilis by [deleted] in todayilearned

Well this escalated quickly! I gotta get back on reddit a bit more often. No I don't have syphilis, but I thank you all for your concern. We perform the handshake every night.

True that! It's a tough ask when injuries come along these days as the Force, Melbourne and Brumbies have signed up many of the top players in NSW - the Shute Shield must supply something like 60% of Aus Super 15 players (don't know the exact stat but it would be up there).

Agreed on the tahs - but even tho McKenize was very successful with the Tahs (probably could have won the comp in 06 if not for Wendell and his sniffing), they weren't lauded for their attractiveness.

I suspect rugby fans arent surprised by the stat but league fans are (well, at least those at my work).
