The question is simple: can 2 independent lunch games evolve in different locations. A visit to the internet today suggest that the answer is "YES." I ran across what appears to be a primitive version of the Lunch Game. Some key observations about this neanderthal version of the lunch game:
1. The Game appears to be played individually.
2. There appears to be a vague conception of rules, yet they are neither uniform, not codified.
3. There does not appear to be alcohol involved.
However, I would point out that this pioneer of lunching, even at this early stage, notes that "the lunch game is not for the slight of heart." Perhaps Alex Amirsaleh has something to learn from history!

It is always interesting to see what is not fittest and does not survive. Here, I think we are safe in concluding that our differences are actual evolutionary advances from this rudimentary form (Cf. Stephen Jay Gould & Richard C. Lewontin, The Spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm: A Critique of the Adaptationist Programme.)
But it does beg the question: who are these "slight of heart"? Do they have thin intra-cardial walls? Do they have narrow hearts? Are they heartless? At TLG we know that size doesn't matter-- stamina does.
Post-lunch girth is also important.
Apparently, our friend might have also encountered a prehistoric version of either the cobracow or the cobraphant. I can't quite make it out.
I would think one's ability to stand erect after lunch is crucial, otherwise one would not be able to seek out the nearest precatory drink. In light of this, I think it is fair to say that one's erectile capacity is crucial, and as I view it, that incorporates elements of both lunch stamina and post-lunch girth.
Nick,
That's a cobraelifanticowasaurus. Close cousin to the Lickalotapus and the modern versions we all know, love and fear. See The Book of Facts (Nadya Salcedo ed.)(2007).
