the idea of "rules of war" is equally absurd. This isn't boxing or some sport. If someone was trying to kill me, I will do everything I can to stop them - kick them in the balls, threaten their mother, call them an ethnic slur, bribe them, torture them

Jan-28-05 sharpnova: i sure wish i could read something about einstein and chess here... specifically about this game... guess that's too much to ask. no one gives a damn about history. just a bunch of college dropouts trying to justify their lives.

suenteus po 147: <sharpnova> What's to justify? We're just killing time while we collect our unemployment.

Apr-20-05 Knight13: I play this kind of Sicilian.I would play like this: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bd3 Qc7 7. O-O Nf6 8. Kh1 a4(to prevent the eventually b5) and so on. I like to play this kind of sicilian>

No personal attacks against other users :)

adlawan.89: Chess is my favorite game.It's very complicated and takes you too much time to learn and to be an expert(or even a grandmaster).

cambal: <Fisher never in his whole live should run away for Karpov ore any other patzer remeber how he destroy all off them before playing Kasspy.So i thk you dont no nthgh about chess.>

And of course how could you forget:

jamthegenius: <I have a tactical and attacking ability and style that is comparable to Alekhine, yet fall somewhere below Kosteniuk.>

<blingice: Duuuuude, "Still Ballin'" is the much better beat to crank up and drive down the street with, in my opinion, because you don't look like a tool/poser when you do crank it up. It shows that you've actually listened to enough rap to have listened to one of the best rappers there was (although he's rather old).

Not that "Balla, Baby" doensn't have it's purpose: it's the kind of rap that you would listen to if you're playing poker or chess.

Then, there's stuff like Jurassic 5, where you just want to nod your head to the beat and rhythm of the lyrics:

Yeah, cause of tricks of the trade, some are virtual slaves A smirk will get raised once the pen hits the page While your thoughts of the stage and perhaps getting paid Relax in the shade, time passing in days I'm searching for ways to avoid the charade
Cause when voices are laid, choices are made
Be not afraid, people plastic on Earth
Verbal blast bout to burst, 5 Jurass finish first

Mark 7even from Jurassic 5 in "Jurass Finish First"

For real, just read that in iambic pentameter, and you'll get it :)>

<Ode to the Spell Checker>

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
