Pół-Nelson ;)

Na 1 kwietnia taki oto żarcik – Half-Nelson (a można się zastanowić czy nie 1/3...), zainspirowany rysunkiem znalezionym swego czasu na jednej z grup facebookowych. Za wiele sensu pewnie nie ma, ale może jakieś zadania wspólnymi siłami zdołamy mu wymyślić? Tak czy siak, wygląda moim zdaniem całkiem uroczo i mam nadzieję, że i Wam, z przymrużeniem oka, przypadnie do gustu :)
