This is the most extreme chess victory I’ve ever come across: winning with two rooks, two knights, two bishops, two queens, and the majority of the pawns, after slashing just about everything from the opponent:

Ape Peter
My perfect life. On stage in Beijing (but it’s over by now). Tim found this ad in a cab.

Wall-E
Wall-E is yet another cute & hilarious Disney-Pixar masterpiece, and its storyline is one of the very best so far – on par with Finding Nemo and the two Toy Story classics. I saw this with Phil and Julia over the opening weekend. Coming out of the theater, I was speechless. So I dragged Hong to see
