You thought they were deciding the future of Europe. Turns out, Gerhard Schroeder and Jacques Chirac may be talking about Japanese sumo wrestling.

Whenever the leaders of EU heavyweights Germany and France meet these days, they discuss a new shared passion for the ancient sport, Schroeder's wife said on Sunday, revealing that the chancellor has taken up watching sumo on television.

"He doesn't like watching just football but recently took up a real interest in sumo wrestling," Doris Schroeder-Koepf told German television.

"The French president is a real expert on sumo," she noted, referring to Chirac's longstanding interest in Japanese culture.

"The two of them are always talking about sumo now whenever they meet."

Sorry Schroeder and chirac, you 2 are light weights, it takes more than FAT(of which you got plenty) to be good in this sport. You gatta have brains and fortitude, of which you both have none.

You forgot the mandatory photo:

To think that the French and German leaders are reduced to dreaming about fat male Japanese combatants.
