editName of the film
editI remember that I used to watch a movie that have an underground worm like monster that can detect vibration and someone in that movie created a homemade explosive and blow it up, and the ending is the people throw the explosive and miss the monster and it push the monster towards a cliff and it falls. And the movie has a wikipedia article about it 140.0.229.26 (talk) 07:21, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

Am I not good at sports?
editAm I actually shit at sports?
The highest bowling scores I can obtain are about 100-110 (ten pin)
I am too scared of falling when ice skating
I take 30-40 seconds to swim 50m when athletes can do it in about 20-30 seconds
I don't even own any trophies

- You seem to do ok. at swimming. What about athletics? Can you post your best performances for the 100 meters sprint, Cooper test etc.? How many push ups can you do in one row? Count Iblis (talk) 18:02, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
- What is a sport anyway? Isn't there something you can do that counts as a sport that you can be good at? --TammyMoet (talk) 19:50, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

- The OP sounds a bit like me... too scared to ice skate, pretty damn poor at ten-pin bowling, I would struggle to complete a 50 metre swim, and I've never won a trophy. However, I'm not too bad at skiing and even learned to snowboard in my forties. Maybe the OP just hasn't yet found his sport. Now what I lack in talent I make up for with enthusiasm. Besides, I stopped caring what others thought about my sporting ability long ago, and certainly don't need strangers on the internet to tell me what to think.

- What can be a factor in today's youth is that they are on average a lot less physically fit than when we were young. Many are overweight or obese and that obviously won't help when ice skating. I've read somewhere that if you compare the Cooper test scores of a typical school class of today with that of 30 years ago, what you find is that the best scores of today would be similar to the average scores of 30 years ago.
- Also, today's youth has a less well developed brain for sports. There are far more incidents were children fall and break their bones because the reflexes for breaking their fall haven't developed properly. So, the video-game generation does have a much harder time compared to us. Count Iblis (talk) 13:21, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
