Very funny. But the bubbles, but what about all those
big fat bubbles raising to the surface? |

[+] for the imagery. Would they be allowed to use scuba diving lead weights to keep them down? I imagine sumo wrestlers would typically need a considerable quantity of weights due to their rather low buoyancy. Of course you might want a non-weighted league which would pretty much just bob around, trashing at one another. |

//Would they be allowed to use scuba diving lead weights// Yesterday I was able to go swimming for the first time in almost a decade. I found I had acquired a tendency to float in most undignified positions. I began wishing for a weight belt, which is exactly what triggered this idea. |

There is an underwater rugby. |

My brothers and I used to play underwater kung fu at the beach. |

From wikipedia, "Sumo is a competitive contact sport where a wrestler (rikishi) attempts to force another wrestler out of a circular ring (dohyô) or to touch the ground with anything other than the soles of the feet" |

What counts as out of bounds, for underwater sumo? |
|

I think a weighted hoop, like a hula hoop but regulation size, or other agreed boundary. Or the deep end. Whatever. Just don't bother throwing the salt. |

Some scientists postulate that may be how the ocean became as salty as it is - thousands of years of underwater sumo salt throwing. |

[Wily Peyote] The title and the idea itself embody the very Japanese spirit of minimalism, evidenced in ikebana and other decorative arts.
Less can be more.
Look at your own home page - a veritable riot of potential ideas, though something of a duster for potential data miners. |

Somebody try to write an "home-run" idea in just 9 words: title, summary, and thesis (the minimalist Holy Grail). Now, that'd be a coupe. Is it possible? |
|

I thought I had one but nope :( |
|
| |
Eh ? A shorter, more powerful version of a standard model ? |
|
| |
Haiku ideas ? I think we did that one. <link> |
