What are you 88?
I saw Magnus Carlsen today!

Well, OK, if it's funny to the OP, that's fine. He can laugh by himself in his grandmother's basement to an idiotic cut-and-paste story that only he finds funny. What a sad, isolated life that has left him such pathetic individual.

You're right cam777, most people here are so dumb they don't even get the joke.
It's not that we don't get it. It's just not funny.
It's not funny because you don't get it. Duh.
What you have actually done is libeled Carlsen. He may or may not be a pleasant person, but if someone had just read the thread once they would have a lasting impression of him. No its not funny. You have done him an injustice and there's enough of that in the world.

FAKE NEWS ALERT! It's funny to everybody who reads it because the OP actually thinks that people would believe such a fake story. Nobody's laughing at Carlsen. Everybody's laughing at the OP.

I do not think that Magnus Carlson was in India to buy chess sets... I am decently sure he can't carry 15 chess sets, and I am 100% sure this post was just to get attention.

No, a prank is only funny to the perpetrator. Onlookers are usually just irritated or as emotionally immature as the perpetrator. Only kids raised in the socially retarded world of on-line culture would think that pranking people with a false celebrity sighting is "funny".
