"the official rock paper scissors site" This is just sick.

A much less wierd, nice site is marx homepage. There he has some old (but famous) texts (and alot of other things), including the art of war:

# The COMMANDER stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.

The five cardinal virtues of the Chinese are

1. humanity or benevolence;
2. uprightness of mind;
3. self-respect, self-control, or "proper feeling;"
4. wisdom;
5. sincerity or good faith.

Here "wisdom" and "sincerity" are put before "humanity or benevolence," and the two military virtues of "courage" and "strictness" substituted for "uprightness of mind" and "self- respect, self-control, or 'proper feeling.'"

# By METHOD AND DISCIPLINE are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
# These five heads should be familiar to every general: he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will fail.


Tommorow I will tell of my trip to the marines.
