Re: OT: Tough sport?
I've always thought playing Darts in an English pub is pretty dangerous, especially by the end of the night.  |

Yep, -40 is the same temperature in both F and C. And if you want to see those temperatures (or colder) every winter, come live in nortern British Columbia, Canada. You gotta love cold weather.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
No thanks, I think I'll stick with the cold and snow. Not to mention I hate rain. Southern BC gets lots of that.

snow is nice. you can't make a ball out of rain. although you can't stick snow in a balloon to well either.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
The coldest temperature I have experienced was -43 deg Celsius, when I visited Fort McMurray (in northern Alberta) in January a few years ago. Walking around outside at night, I was numb with cold and I thought I was going to freeze.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
As I understand it the ugliest sports (not counting full-contact fighting sports) are ozzie rules football and that Irish game with the hockey sticks and the fightings and the beatings and the mutilationings.
As for playing in bad weather... no idea. I don't think I've ever heard of a football (soccer) or rugger match stopped for bad weather, but I'm not a fan of either so I could easily be wrong.
On the subject of excercise in intemperate conditions- have you ever tried skipping barefoot in the freezing cold? It *freaking* hurts when the rope catches your toes.

Re: OT: Tough sport?
If by tough you mean physically demanding you can't beat F1 racing. < pause while non racing fans laugh >
Think about it. It's 30 plus degrees celsius. Your wearing several layers of fireproof clothing, crammed into a tiny space and must experience 5G's plus. Under these conditions you must concentrate 100% for up to 2 hours. One tiny lapse and it's over. F1 drivers are probably the most physically fit atheletes in the world. You could argue that, but you'd be wrong. 
(now if you mean tough as in beating the crap out of the other players well that's a different story) |
