    Children's game goes "pro"

    Anyone see this? Last week, ON TELEVISION, was the "2006 World RPS Championships." That is RPS as in, you guessed it, Rock Paper Scissors.

    Jesus! People will make a competition out of anything! What makes it worse is that people get paid to win this. And, on top of that, there are companies who bought ad time when this whole friggin' thing was televised!

    this "sport" has been around for a while now. One of my buddies designed their website, last time he was trying to get tickets or entry for four of us. There is actually some strategy to the game, there is atleast one book i know that has them and is in print.

    There's a bit more involved with poker than rock, paper, scissors.

    there are odds in poker, there are also odds in RPS
    There are tells in poker, there are also tells in RPS.

    there are more simalarities between the two than one thinks.

    There is definite and significant strategy in poker. RPS doesn't have a whole lot. To some extent you can guess what the other players are going for, but that's about it.

    Seriously though, there's not going to be anything truly random coming from humans- in all likelihood everyone will have tendencies to go with certain patterns, or to always play X after Y occurs, or to open with scissors (or whatever) 60% of the time. Because we're not really random, if you're familiar with your opponents and dissect their games, it's still a game of playing the odds, but you can tip them in your favor.

    I won 4 straight rolls in dice the other day, won 10 bucks! Does this make me a skilled strategist?

    There are dozens of variations of rock, paper, scissors and YES! there is a way to win consistently... I'd tell you, but then it would be spread all over cyberdom and then I'd lose my edge...
    A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

    I currently live in a town that boasts the latest American representatives for Curling which looks like shuffleboard on ice.

    there is actually a proper way to roll, the tenchnique takes a hell of a long time to get down. With proper technique one can roll with very good odds. There have been a couple of guys that have been banned from Casinos in Nevada for doing just that.
