On an entirely different note...

I went back and forth with the idea of posting this to the Humor blog, because that's kind of where it belongs, but I figured this one needed a break from the relentless pounding of the corruption that is the current Administration, and so...

This could only happen in America.

A sport called "Chessboxing". Rounds alternate between four minutes of chess and two minutes of pounding the crap out of each other. Victory can be had either by checkmating your opponent or knocking him out (there are other ways to win, presumably a scoring system after all of the rounds have passed).

I can't decide if this is genius or sheer stupidity, and I guess that's the mark of a great idea.
