Dang it, we don't want to be encouraging <Dom> with his "calculations"....

If you wander back through this forum you will see what sometimes happens...

<Dom> btw someone actually asked ME for chess advice in my forum, first time that's ever happened.

First, I just said to ask you and a few others.

Then I thought, that's pretty weak.

So I tried to answer, and quoted you as well.

I think they should add this feature: a notice that says:

<You are trying to post something that makes no sense whatsoever, you blithering idiot. Please don't do that>

I have Lora- and Diazepam on my piano

Thiamine on another piano

Risperdal (What the heck is that for?) on a bookshelf right next to a Prince "Emancipation" double CD and a half naked Janet Jackson special edition

Aspirine somewhere in the kitchen (probably on top of my microwave oven)

Guess I'll be scarce for the next few days- a "forced move". heh.

Who was it that said <Anything of note that has ever been produced in society was produced by someone trying to get out of doing something else, usually work>

I read it once, but can't remember who said it.

Who's next? Group analysis (and possibly therapy) to follow..

<Niels> first reaction to your list is I can't stop laughing yet so I won't make any sense.

By 'cabinet' I mean 'pile of books and CDs' with pharmaceutical items balanced on top. *falls over*

Hey, who else can spell 'pharmaceutical' - twice - while falling over? I ask you.

That very day I read a newspaper story on the topic. I was right. It's an EU restriction, the pharma giants hate it, and are using lobby muscle to get it lifted to they can target 'consumers' directly.

Synchronicity city. Sometimes I 'know' stuff I don't even know I know.

A Judge says: "What is a website?"

Frogspawn replies:

<"What is a Judge?">

I read that on textservice a pfeew days ago..

Dr Paranoia adds: "Heh, I warned you that 'she' was really a highly advanced viral marketing construct, disguised as a Canadian. The AI people often use Canadian interfaces, because they're neater and easier for computers to simulate. And a diode in room 47 knows that you are awake."

Oh, shut up, Doc. I don't care if she's a virus -- she's *our* virus.

Doc Paranoia adds: "I'm not sure about *you* either. They can do Irish almost as easily as Canadian, and those number fixations are a dead giveaway. In fact, the only 'people' here who are definitely human are Niels, mack and JoeWms. I'm not even sure about *me*."

Then again, a 1920s judge said "what is jazz?" and a 1960s judge asked "who are the beatles?"

Actually, I'm not totally sure I know what a website is myself. I know what some individual websites look like, and how they behave, and where to find them. But do I know what one *is*?

<Jess> The virus allegation (allegory? alligator?) was actually a 'howdy do'. I leave nasal chomping to Dr Lecter.

Anyhow, an ice island bigger than Manhattan just broke off Ellesmere Island. Can

A popular spot for so called "extreme ecotourism," in which incredibly fit, nature-savvy, and experienced people drop themselves off in the middle of nowhere and are never heard from again.

Ah, Canada.

We'll have to do the <live blood test> scene from <John Carpenter's> very fine re-make of <The Thing>, maybe.

<Kurt Russell> to <Dom>:

"We'll do you first..."

Do you think it could be an <urban legend>?

Remember, one of the biggest characteristics of <urban legends> is that the media reports it, but there seem to be "minor" discrepencies in the actual details of the story.

See <Eyal's> link to the <urban legend> story, reported by many, many media, of the phrase i keep repeating from time to time:

"If speaking American was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for my kids."

<Eyal> posted the link to the <Wikipidea> expose (accent aigue here) on this <urban legend>>

When I told the brilliant <Hitman> about it, he said

"That's the 713th stupidest thing I ever heard in my life."

Then I said "I read it in the paper" (I did in fact).

Then he said "You got <jessed>!"

I thought it was in Scotland, but not sure.. And it matters shlitt(le).

<What is Jazz?> Pure Blasphemy.

Lately I've been playing a hell of a lot of 20min games against Chessmaster, and analysing afterwards where I went wrong, tactically or positionally. Blitz is close to useless but this format seems to work for me.. Opening knowledge improves automatically too. Am I on the RIGHT TRACK?
