"The World Series isn't over, but the sports world did crown a champion over the weekend. That would be Toronto lawyer Andrew Berger, who captured the World Rock Paper Scissors title on Sunday in front of a raucous hometown crowd. Berger threw paper to cover the rock of second-place finisher Stan Long, a student from California, en route to the gold medal and $7,000 first prize. That winning throw, though, only served to remind us of the game's (sorry, the "sport's") one major flaw. It makes sense that scissors cuts up paper and rock smashes scissors, but how come nobody bats an eye that paper covers rock? What kind of lame rock can't break free of a covering that is, literally, paper-thin? That's sillier than the tuck rule." - SI.com
Congratulations to Stan Long of Newark, California for taking the Silver Medal. And to Stewart Waldman of New York for taking Bronze. One day we'll bring the trophy to the U.S. where it rightfully belongs. See the official press release.
Oh yeah. I'm sure nobody was really watching. But there was a pretty good baseball game on today. Two More Wins!
