Mark Cuban Challenges Donald Trump to 'Harlem Shake Duel'

And now, we present to you the latest in billionaire Twitter wars.

Mark Cuban and Donald Trump have been going back and forth for a little while now. Points of contention have included their respective reality TV shows, the performance of Cuban's Dallas Mavericks and other very important things.

For the full tête-à-tête, please feel free to go through their individual feeds, or consult Google. But here's the important news: It. Just. Got. Real.

How? Cuban escalated the smack talk by challenging Trump to a "Harlem Shake duel." We're not quite sure how that would work, but it does call to mind certain imagery. Here's Cuban laying down the gauntlet late Monday night:

. @realdonaldtrump let's settle this like gentleman.I challenge u to a Harlem Shake duel.@sharktank cast vs Apprentice cast.For charity— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) March 19, 2013

A pretty good tweet, no doubt; but he followed that with a better one:

.@realdonaldtrump on that Harlem Shake offer,we canall bring our birth certificates if that helps...— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) March 19, 2013

Trump has not yet responded directly to the proposed duel, and we're not sure he will. But the mere possibility does lead to some burning questions: How exactly do two parties "duel" the Harlem Shake? Who would be better? Would this be the greatest thing to ever happen in post-modern American culture -- or the worst? And most of all, why do we pay attention to these people?

All questions to which we'll likely never have good answers.
