I used to be pretty good at RPS back in the day, but I haven't practiced in a long time. I'm probably too old now. Is there fantasy league or anything?
Good thing they have 2 refs. I personally think they are making a mistake viewing the action from the same angle. They will have to rely on instant replay more often.
Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- The British Broadcasting Corp. hosts its annual Sports Personality of the Year ceremony on Dec. 10. (...)the selection committee should cast a wider net than in previous years. (...) The BBC needs to employ a more imaginative definition of the word ``sport'' in its choosing the nominees for its award. Here are my picks.
Bob `The Rock' Cooper, World Rock-Paper-Scissors Champion Bob Cooper, a 28-year old sales manager from London, beat 500 competitors in Toronto last month at the fifth annual World Rock-Paper-Scissors Championship, playing ``scissors'' for his winning move. His victory snapped a four-year winning streak for Canadian players at the game, in which scissors trumps paper, paper wraps rock, and rock defeats scissors. ``Strategy is everything,'' Cooper says on his Web site. ``It's not about predicting what your opponent will throw, it's about predicting what your opponent predicts you'll throw, fool. It takes years, no, make that decades, to hone your Rock Paper Scissors skills. Years of blood, sweat and tears.'' More than 580 people have filled in an online petition asking the BBC to reopen nominations and include Cooper. Cooper's enthusiasm for his chosen sport makes him a worthy contender.
According to Wikipedia: Carbon was discovered in prehistory and occurs in all organic life. This nonmetal also has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly ten million known compounds. Carbon compounds form the basis of all life on Earth and the carbon-nitrogen cycle provides some of the energy produced by the Sun and other stars. Without it life as we know it could not exist.
