Traveling
This post really has nothing to do with around the world travelling but the travelling violation in the sport of Basketball. I was in a bookstore in Paris and asked if there was an english section. There was, but it only contained about six books. Luckily for me there was one called Basketball, by James Naismith, the inventor of the game. Inside it had listed all the original rules and regulations. What i found hilarious was that the game was invented in 1891, but Profanity wasn't considered a violation until 1906. I went digging in the archives online and was luckily able to find some video footage from some of these earlier games. Here's a clip.
