Maybe some of those events were earthquakes. I find it hard to believe that their were 26 major impacts that we didn't know about. 600KT is hard to miss even if it is in a remote area.

"Wake me up when it can identify a criminal in a joker mask."
You don't need a computer for that, everyone knows the Joker is a criminal.
Wasn't this yesterdays news?
How is that going to work with something the size of a phone?
Unless you've got micro-waldos to fiddle with it.
It might be good for splitting wood, but not so good for splitting hairs
I'd rather have a 'Darth Maul' (double ended lightsabre)
I seem to remember something about George Washington's axe (you know the one he used to chop down the cherry tree)
Lunar golf would be an interesting, but very expensive sport.
"Well, as the Volvo Ocean Race showed, you can make sailing a lot more fast paced"
Ocean racing sailing a Volvo? I guess I missed that episode of Top Gear
The recent Americas Cup showed some very fast sailboat racing, and a lot of hi-tech stuff.
Those guys have to be fit, especially the grinders.
Theres also the Whitbread Round the world race that attracts a lot of media coverage and money.

"Yes, but full contact golf would be too much like grass hockey, AKA rugby"
WTF
Grass hockey and rugby are completely different sports, and botht are played in the land I was born in
Hockey has sticks and a small round ball.
Rugby has a large oval ball, kinda lake american football, without tha armour and no forward passes.
High school hockey is played onreal grass, not astroturf.
It must be about time for rugby season, both Union and League. Go All Blacks
"Golf is about getting your balls into the hole in as few strokes as possible. It's as simple as that."
Cue the jokes about Tiger Woods off course activities...

That reminds me, don't they call A Golf a Rabbit in the US market
or has VW stopped selling them in North America
" For me, it falls into the same categorization as bowling, darts, and billiards."
If you don't consider darts a sport, what about archery, or the shooting competitions that involve firearms?
I consider them to be 'sports'
OTOH I consider figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics to be 'art' not 'sport'. (if the score is subjective, rather than measured with a stopwatch or a ruler then its an art.
