Immortal Combat

There is this syndrome amongst all of us now-a-days to post everything we find on Blogger or Facebook or Twitter. It's a nice way of sharing information, attracting attention and telling people you're active. I never used Blogger to share anything Ive found online that has amused me or for something I want to share.

This picture reminds me of the time I used to make the draws for the Grand Slams for men and women by hand, and then update it according to who won or lost. I'm sure if I look in the right places at home, I'll find the 1999 Wimbledon draw amongst others.
First of all, a troll would destroy an elf, unless the elf had some random magical power. Just beating the troll in terms of "number of eyes on face" isn't enough. Also, how on earth (maybe it was middle earth!) did the elf reach the semi-finals, I'll never understand.

Secondly, I don't understand why a fairy would even contest. I think the gnome got a "walkover".

Thirdly, I don't know where the mermaid and the centaur fought, on water or on land, or somewhere in between the stratosphere.

Finally, a zombie-ghost final would be tough. It would be hard to bet on any one of them. But how the already-blind zombie beats the already-invisible ghost is an interesting conclusion to an eventful tournament.

We shall call this one "Immortal Combat"
