Not only is this good news, but it brings my total posts to 667...

...and I see no reason in giving the fundies ammunition against me...

I'm pretty sure they've given you the mark of the beast anyway, Vanni.

It was funny when they were playing the film of Fischer on The Hour...I remembered perfectly clearly. I know nothing about chess and would have been pretty young when the film was shot, so you it was a big deal

You know...I've read a chess book by Fisher, and books about him, but never did I realize in reading those how anti-semitic he was...

Too bad...it sort of tarnishes his genius in my eyes now...

I never knew that about him until just now. All I really know about him are the film clips from the news.

Are you all aware that he died a few days ago? I don't think he will be traveling to Iceland.
