What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
Oh, baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

What is love
Yeah

Oh, I don't know why you're not there
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong
Gimme a sign

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

Oh, I don't know, what can I do
What else can I say, it's up to you
I know we're one, just me and you
I can't go on

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh
Whoa whoa whoa, oooh oooh

What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh
What is love, oooh, oooh, oooh

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more

Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me

I want no other, no other lover
This is your life, our time
When we are together, I need you forever
Is it love

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh)

What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more
What is love
Oh baby, don't hurt me
Don't hurt me no more (oooh, oooh)

What is love?

 Professional eating is a sport, although it requires very little physical activity.

Chess, however, is not a sport, at least not on amateur levels.  Classifying it as a board game does it little justice, though.  Perhaps it is in its own classification, such as "timeless classic?"

I think chess can be a sport if you throw some pieces around if you get mad. LOL

What about moving your brain cells? You make them  run with chess. This is sport for your brain isn't it?

Above that chess is primarely an art...... the art of war, in this life you must fight, so you better exercise yourself on winning sometimes ;-)

Fischer sad "life is chess" (notice he didn't sad the more obvious way round chess is life) to me he was absolutely right.

Great Bobby

You are just so schematic, black,white, this that, this is sport this is not..... Chess in fact comes from India, a country wich gave birth to (among many others thing) the perspection of duality wich seems so popular on modern day physics especialy on quantum mechanics. Reality it's quite more complex then black and white and chess it's a complex game wich contains many things and can be sport, art, a challenge between Kasparov and one of the most complex computer ever created by human being,  also the boardgame can be used by monkeys instead of a freesbee I've seen that on some zoo.

So it is more likely that chess and" it's meaning" may reveal something from you rather than about this great immortal game ;-)

 But it is not not a board game. It has to be classified as a board game. It is  game and is played on a board (though I concede it need not be).

The more interesting question, is a Jaffa Cake a biscuit or a cake? Cool

Boardgame only.

Legally speaking this was resolved in 1991 in McVities vs HMCE.  They are a cake.

McVities Jaffa Cakes went into a court battle in 1991 against whether they are a cake or a biscuit. Under UK law VAT can be charged on biscuits and cakes Chocolate covered biscuits, however are different currently charged 15%.

McVities have always classed Jaffa Cakes as a cake however this was disputed by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise as Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuits.

McVities argued that a distinction between cakes and biscuits is that biscuits would normally be expected to go soft when stale, whereas cakes would normally be expected to go hard. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale.

The courts ruled that Jaffa Cakes are a cake and McVities therefore won the case meaning VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes.

 That question was settled by a court case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cake#Cake_or_biscuit.3F

lol Okay but what the law says and what is reality may be two entirely different things.  If Jaffa Cakes were actually cakes then why do all the supermarkets store them in the same place as the biscuits?  Why when people go shopping for biscuits do they often pick up Jaffa Cakes? Cool

I think Chess is a Jaffa Cake and Biscuits is a sport. Smile
