On the Yo-Yo - one of those posts mention the diablo, which if i am not
mistaken is suddenly back in fashion (at least here, in Lisbon). The
"diabo" as it is called here has two cups connected by a small stick and is
manipulated by the use of a cord suspended between two larger sticks. These
things can get going very fast, and I don't doubt at all they would be
lethal as a weapon, having received more than the occasional diabo in the
forehead from the hands of my 3-yr-old nephew.

anyway, news reports indicate they selling these suckers hand over fist
this year...

just to show what goes around, comes around - yo-yo.
