    One of the great cities of the ancient world, offering one of the "Wonders" of the world, is today the scene of a major championship at which spectators must take care to stay out of the way of certain, um, byproducts. What is this interesting contest, and where does it does take place?

    Question #68757. Asked by lanfranco.

    Excellent, peasy, and a very good reason to equip the silver mace with a nice, protective, silk canopy ....

    It does. How are you up for some jelly wrestling? We could charge admission...

    Amazing that you should mention "jelly," because I was doing a little work on (yuck) "megilp" today.

    We could definitely charge for this, especially with the right pigments:
