Not to hijack your thread, but I noticed the pleas for donations have disappeared from the main page of Wikipedia.  Does anyone know if they have secured some funding?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I have enough trouble with conventional chess as it is... but those do look quite interesting.  =)
