Throwing God


I heard this story second hand and was told it is true.

The old child dueling game, Rock, Paper, Scissors has a championship tournament. Really. Anyways, included in this championship, was a freestyle "rock, paper, scissors" tournament. This particular freestyle throw off, between two opponents, became historic in RPS circles when one of the throwers spread out his arms and threw Space! Everyone was awed...you know, this never happened before. What could possibly beat space? His adversary mulled it over and knew. Making a circle with both index fingers and thumbs, he threw A Black Hole! A Black Hole definitely beats space, hands down. This display of creativity and genius nearly put the crowd in hysterics. How do you beat a Black Hole? What is possibly big enough to eat or defeat a ravenous vacuum that sucks up whatever is near its mouth? The clever hero made the momentous call in just enough time to win the throw off. He flung his arms out like a bird or an airplane...and...

He threw God!

Apparently nothing beats God. So he won.
