The moral? Well, next time it snows and the road gets slippery, don’t be depressed (as though it snowed to spite you). Instead, go out and roll a snowball. Enjoy it before it melts.
One more thing, as the Yao example demonstrates, the English language is explanatory – you can best learn about words and phrases through context. In the following media examples, too, all the freakishness of those freaks of nature mentioned is explained within the surrounding sentences, or paragraphs as the case may be:
1. His name is George Foreman, and to me he is one of the biggest physical freaks of nature in sports history. Think about it, he has just about the highest knockout percentage in heavyweight history. Yet he was an arm puncher. He’s the last guy you’d want teaching your fighter how to punch, because he didn't know how from a fundamental or technical vantage point. Basically, he throws a punch like a novice slaps, only his arm has a balled fist at the end.
When you match him up with past heavyweight greats as a fighter on paper, he should lose every time. George wasn’t a good boxer, nor was he very fast, and his stamina was questionable in the 70’s. Foreman fought with no strategy or game plan. His offense was his defense. And his attack plan was nothing more than throwing punches in the vicinity of his opponent in hopes of just maybe one of them connecting.
What George Foreman could do was punch. When you break Foreman down as a fighter, what can you really say about him? Sure he was very tough mentally and was also fearless. He had a great chin and his punching power was unmatched. His jab was a sledgehammer, and his hook and uppercut had neck-breaking power. However, all of those things, except for his mental strength and toughness, tie into his God given physical strength.
