A funny about food, chess, neatness from Lego bricks and Altoids tins, and Cetaphil vs. head lice.

Vogon mentioned a few nights ago that he wants to make tofu Parmesan sometime soon.

Him: It's just like chicken Parmesan, only with tofu instead of chicken.
Me: Okay. I've never had chicken Parmesan.

[silence; he boggles]

Him: Are you kidding?
Me: No. The last time I told you that, you decided to make it, but you overcooked it and threw it out

It's interesting that all the 7 reasons are basically for general life lessons, and that to get most of them from chess you have to be pretty heavily involved. I could never get past the intense amount of strategy/study involved...games are supposed to be fun! :) My brother's great at that sort of thing though -- he plays Go, which is really hardcore.

I never really got into chess, though I think Fisher's varient "chess 960" is interesting, because there can be no opening book to study.
