Good morning world

I'm wondering if any board members from Poland, Slovakia or the Czech Republic woke up their girl early this morning by pouring a bucket of water on her head and striking her about the legs with long thin twigs or switches made from willow, birch or decorated tree branches (like this one). (wikipedia)

So many fine traditions are being lost... I do so hope that someone, somewhere is preserving this one.
