First Nat'l Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament in Las Vegas

It’s American superficiality at its best in Las Vegas today as the World Rock, Paper, Scissors final tournament is being held. The prize? $50,000.

Oh yes, the same method you used to decide who had to go over the fence and get the baseball as a kid can earn you more than the annual income of most people in the industrialized world. There’s some very well-written commentary about the event in The New York Times or you could just watch it on ESPN as it happens. Seriously.

For more about the world of Rock, Paper Scissors I found the RPS Society website to be very helpful. They also have up to the minute tournament coverage on their main blog.
