[Buddha-l] Satire here--quite funny

[jkirk]

Since Buddhism is mentioned---
http://www.vidushaka.de/Vidusaka-EM.pdf

excerpt:
"What totally escaped my notice was that the sign on the left was
a necessarily two-dimensional projection of a football, with the
stitching indicated. If that would be accepted, Buddhism
would have adapted its dharmacakra from the famous game and even
been influenced by its terminology. Now, finally, the original
meanings of cakravartin, of dharmacakra ("fair game"),
and tripit.aka ("hattrick") can be regained."
