Is that one of those stealth planes in that picture, just above the closest tree, or is that a UFO?

Chess and Boxing has lots of similarities but chess compared to tennis not so much!

Of course the "genuine" flying saucer from space casts no shadows upon such a meager planet as ours, but it has been examined by experts to be 700 miles wide, based on how enormous that truck is.

Doubt it.  That truck can definately only seat two people...

The aliens aren't in the truck! The truck is there to prove that the road is genuine. Just look up "Billy Meier" and you'll understand that "contact" is more than just a punch in the faceLaughing

Interest in chess and interest in tennis must be correlated in some way! It's such a typical pattern (that includes me, by the way).

Ping-pong ping-bong... Chess is actually more like table tennis... The reason why chess nerds like to compare chess to boxing is that they're pathetic wimps who only wish they could hit someone without getting killed.

Let's see:  they're both played outdoors, both feature tanned people in top-top shape doing a great deal of running, both are played for ungodly wads of money and get lots of TV coverage...it's getting kinda eerie, huh?
