i think the best thing about rugby is the spirit that goes with it. you dont get all the controversy and backstabbing racism and all that kinda stuff in rugby, and once you get off the pitch, everyone is friends again no matter what

Exactly, its like a civilised version of football. Until the team gets to the pub that is, then it dissolves into a drinking contest of vast proportions. And as for curry nights, 'nuff said.

Anyway, this probably deserves a bump.

Can you beat the paper/rock.scissors world championship showing on FOX sports from Las Vegas?

Please dear god tell me television hasn't descended so far as to be showing the rock-paper-scissor championships?

They showed the Nathan's Hot Dog Stuffing Championship last year on ESPN.

wasn't the winner Japanese or something

Yeah, he's been the winner like three years in a row.

My favorite sport is that in which humans propell themselves the fastest.

Any guesses?
Bicycle racing.


But I'm cheating, because I got suckered in a thread you started on bicycle racing before and it burned. So I know you like bicycle racing. Which is cool. I don't follow it, but I will watch it when it's on.

I don't care what anyone says, ultimate frisbee is the sport of all sports. :cool:

Are you sure the sport where people propell themselves fastest isn't hockey?

No. I just know he likes bicycle racing.

Though I'm pretty sure it's bicycle racing. But I can't say that with any confidence, because I don't know the speeds of either.

Surely sky-surfing / sky-diving would be the fastest?

Technically, gravity is propelling sky-divers, not themselves.

Maybe this way-using mechanical assistance (gears) bicycling is fastest

Using leg power with out mechanical assitance speed skating (they have to be goin' faster than hockey players...)

Using outside natural force (gravity) skydiving.

Using the expansion of burning gasses, space shuttles.

Rugby = Cricket > Football > Tennis > Golf >..........> Knitting championships > Curling > Baseball > Basketball > American Football

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have put football below Rugby and Cricket, but I've never been that good at Football. Probably don't ponce about enough, or wear enough expensive make up and hair products to be a footballer. Front row of a scrum all the way. So what if I'm barely classifiable as human, and likely to rip the arm off anyone pushing in front of me at the bar. At least I don't need seperate bags for hair products when I'm on tour, like anyone who wears a rugby shirt with a number over about 8, or any football players.

Though I can see the similiarities, if you think so you're not doing one of them correctly.
