Following the performance of the Cambridge University Blue Boat, 11-4 outsiders in a two horse race, on the Tideway on Saturday, the Winklevoss twins may have grounds to sue. The Winklevoss twins had the idea of winning the 2010 Boat Race first and the actions of the Cambridge University crew in stealing their idea amount to little more than piracy.

A spokesman for Cambridge University was reported to say, “Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.”

heh, nice one.
I was amused to hear the Winklevoss twins announce they were studying at Chrristchurch College, Oxford. I just wonder if they have ever been into Christ Church. I imagine the Dean must have choked and spluttered when heard that.
They were incidentally rejected by Cambridge. Donald Legget
Those Peterhouse coxes seem to do a good job. Do you breed them somewhere Donald?
