Wuss scale

Right now, the wuss scale is pretty much set in stone. Because of the mass numbers of votes, it would take over wins for a single celebrity to move up 1 percentage point. Two suggestions-
1. weigh the percentage of wussiness not just on how many wins or losses, but on who you lose to-ex, Ghengis khan would lose many points against hanson than agains Jesus, cuz Hanson's wussier. This should probably be modeled on the NFL ranking system
2. Every few months, clear all the votes, and let the wuss scale start anew (you could also bring in new and celebs at this time, and get rid of some old ones)
OR
Just do a tournament feature where every week, you get rid of 1/2 of the losers until you're down to two (this would work best using powers of two ex: 16 celebs, 32 celebs, 64 celebs)
