Something for our sporting friends

I thought it would be a good idea if I put together our graduation slide show for the event next spring. Not only could I offer my superior knowledge of imovie and idvd to the project, but I could also decide which if any of the numerous embarrasing pictures of myself make it into said presentation.

In other news, I found out the origins of the game of lacross, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse, The sport was invented by Native North Americans. Its name was dehuntshigwa'es in Onondaga ("men hit a rounded object"), da-nah-wah'uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee ("little war"), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language ("little brother of war"), and baaga'adowe in Ojibwe ("bump hips").

The game was named lacrosse by early French observers. It is widely and inaccuratley believed that the name stems from the French term "crosse", for the shepherd's crooklike crosier carried by bishops as a symbol of office. Pierre Francois Xavier de Charlevoix noted the resemblance between the crosier and the shape of the racket stick in 1719. Nevertheless, the notion that the name lacrosse derives from this reference is a myth, albeit a remarkably persistent one. In fact, the term crosse was a general word in French for any type of bat or stick used in a ball game. The term crosse was applied to the Native playing stick by the Jesuit fathers nearly a century before. The name lacrosse is simply a reflection of this term, and perhaps a shorthand for a phrase such as "le jeu de la crosse" (the game of the stick)." [6]
