Snapple Facts - Let's Duel!

Snapple "Real Fact" 907 - Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.

How cool (and totally f'ed up) is that? Major reason not to give blood in Paraguay if you ask me.

Still, you could easily port this little tidbit into a sc-fi setting. Or a South American Old Ones horror campaign.

  1. I'd like to bring back the duel because I think society needs a winnowing process in which people with poor impulse control who get pissed off because someone took their parking spot can kill one another off, leaving more room and breeding opportunities for those who can control themselves.

  2. Reminds me of that Leon Humphreys bloke that invoked the ancient right of trial by combat over a £25 fine. It would have been a fight to the death, too, if he'd got his way.
