Title: Oh, this is too good...

If you haven't seen it: chessboxing (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23979955-23109,00.html).

It's the classic tradition of combining something requiring concentration with something requiring physical exertion - like nordic biathlon, but in a MUCH more direct and competitive format.

Brilliant.

The Bilal comics are great, btw. How about having an arimaa-karate championship ? :)

You can bash your opponent's brain both figuratively and literally at the same time.  ;D
