On sumo lard, and other phat thangs.

[Lumbering Ox <brian@cs.mun.ca>]

Someone earlier mentioned that sumo training results in marbled fat
[liek Kobe beef as I recall]. Although I am no expert in the process
of marbleing, those big guts you see are fat.. My gut is also pretty
hard considering it's size. As I recall, on your typical male, most of
the excess fat of a moderately fat guy is stored under the abs. You start 
with an extra tire.. then the excess goes under the abs. When you attain 
the levels of obesity that the 500 pounders get, I guess you start 
running out of room and thats why you get some real sagging fat. YMMV, I 
am about 36% body fat myself.

WRT age limits. Someone on this list mentioned a judo champian retireing and
rejecting the beya recruiting attmepts. How old was he? Was this before 
the age limits [I get the impression the age limits are very limits.


On the subject of public nudity. As someone ahs pointed out.. if you drop 
your loincloth thingy you lose. My question is, how often does this 
happen, when was the last time it did happen and what the the highest 
ranked dude it happened to. Looking at the outfit, I can't see it staying 
on without suspenders.. their milage varies much more then mine wrt jeans 
and the like I guess ;)
