The game was played by the aborigines before the arrival of the spaniards? Really? What's the source? I don't know much, but for what I know, been no horses or ducks in America before the arribal of the sapaniards, how is it possible fot the indians to play pato? I don't think so (or at least it feels rather dubious...) Jfa <<punch me here>> 18:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

It has been corrected. Anyways, some people don't have no sense of humor. elpincha 22:42, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Not sure about the ducks, but certianly no horses before the Spanish arrival. Speaking of ducks, I just corrected a mis-translation of "pato" from some American professional wrestler to the more traditional meaning -- duck. Cavebutter 17:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
