World Championship

After an exhusting weekend at the Texas Ren Fair from which I am still recovering I found this link about the World RPS Championship.

What's RPS you ask?

Why Rock, Paper Scissors of course.

It is really amazing what you can find on the web.

To achieve the lofty title of World RPS Champion, he threw a combination of rock-paper-paper, defeating his opponent's offering of three rocks.

The winner, Rob Krueger , is a canadian from Toronto.

For more info you can go to their web site here.

More coverage here and here.

These people take their RPS very seriously.

Andy Cumming, 28, flew to Canada from London with five other members of the United Kingdom team, as well as their team doctor who counsels them on warmups, diet and practice.

Another quote:

We take rock, paper, scissors about as seriously as you take something like rock, paper, scissors. We have a lot of fun with the concept.
