Something Random

Rock Paper Scissors Champion Crowned
Toronto. Herald News Services.

A 34-year old man from Burlington, Ont., is the 2004 Rock Paper Scissors champion of the world.

Lee Rammage claimed the title on Saturday in Toronto, along with $7,000 in prize money.

He says being up on stage with the crowd chanting was intimidating at times, but he kept his focus and pulled it off.

"It was pretty intimidating a couple of times because you get down a few hands, and you're thinking, 'Man, I can't believe I've gone this far and I might lose,'" he said.

Rammage credits his victory to a gender-specific strategy.

"Men almost always threw rock at the beginning, so I played that up," he said.
