WE FIND SATAN

The Skink Uncovers Devilment in Many Sports

With Hansie Cronje's submission that Satan, the Lord of Darkness, Prince of Evil, Master of the Fiery Pit, Caretaker of the Malevolent Furnace, and Lifeguard at The Lake of Fire made him accept tens of thousands of dollars of bookmakers' money, The Skink launched an inquiry into other results in world sport where the Evil One was implicated.
