A gigantic brawl broke out inside a crowded English pub, which involved an estimated 100 patrons. Police were able to break up the fight, and were investigating the cause of the incident that sent at least one person to the hospital for a head wound.

"Police investigating the cause of the incident"
This should be an easy one to figure out. British + Alcohol =

The boys are just having some FUN,

A couple of those guys close to the camera/phone are throwing some pretty good punches. At least the recipients have their heads down.

Sam Ballard, a promising young rugby player from Sydney, spent 420 days in a coma after eating the poisonous mollusc.

Sam, who was 19 at the time, asked friends "should I eat it?" before swallowing it whole at a party.

The player, who was described as "my rough-and-tumble Sam" by his mum, Katie, fell into a coma and was found to have been infected with rat lungworm.

The parasite can cause brain infections in rare cases.

A dangerous trend among teens is causing concern among the medical community. The "condom snorting challenge" is exactly what it sounds like: Teens are taking to the internet to post videos of themselves snorting a condom up one nostril and inhaling until it -- hopefully -- re-emerges into the mouth.

Probably genetic selection at work.

See, that right there , HONDO, evidences that you're thinking is more modern than mine. Of course you are right, but those two contemporary phenomena are not foremost in my dated thinking.

I went to school with a kid. He would do that with dental floss. It was a hoot to see. He would pull it in and out a few times. Then chase somebody around with it.

I think the cinnamon thing goes back a long way. I had heard of that when I was in high school, 1948-1952, as a way to get a cheap high and no one would suspect. We heard of it from some Navy guys after WW II.

Murph,
Thanks for the explanation of the trellis in the above photo.
I can see the swing also. That had to be a nice neighborhood and a great place to live.

I know that you were always tall but is that group all about the same age?
My guess is you are all close.
