Well, they did it after all. Do you think she will finally resign, or will she go kicking and screaming?

Slightly related, but in having a bit of a read of wikipedia on this subject, today I learnt about waka hurdling, jumping waka over wooden beams set in the water.

picture of waka (canoe) being rowed over a beam held slightly raised in the water by some stands.

View of Maori waka (canoes) in a hurdle race on the Waikato River at the Ngaruawahia Regatta. A group of people line the river banks to watch. A bridge crosses the river in the right background. Taken by Albert Percy Godber circa 1910.
