I guess I shouldn't have been surprised: Rock, Paper, Scissors is a sport. In fact, it's an international sport.
"The 2005 RPS World Championships was again held in Toronto Canada, and involved 495 competitors from 27 U.S. States, Norway, Northern Ireland, Cayman Islands, Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada. The winner received $7,000 Canadian dollars, second place received $1,500 and third $500. It is no playground game anymore."
The inevitable questions arise; if you go up against someone in the tavern to settle on who buys the next round, remember you may be throwing down against an international champion; how can you tell? Overdeveloped bicep on one side? Do those who excel at RPS, practice in front of mirrors like parakeets?
This is even riskier than recklessly challenging the barfly who could turn out to be the world champion coin flipper.
