Triple Toe Loop

I have watched ice skating on TV in the winter for years. Let's face it, the sport is graceful, sophisticated, and as manly as it gets. Yesterday, however, I mean a startling discovery.

I has suspected this for a while, but I now know for a FACT that there is absolutely no difference between a triple toe loop and triple lutz. And those are the same as a triple salchow, or however you spell it. And that is the same as a double spin, which is the same as a double axel.

Every move that is done on ice is the exact same. The exact same. The only variation occurs when someone falls and busts her fragile face. Or when Tonya Harding beats the hell out of Nancy Kerrigan with a baseball bat.
