he can also bandy about the fact that he's got a Ph.D. in sport science, as well as an avid chess player who regularly faces off...

He has an avid chess player?

Barakku: So why does the white side always start first, huh?!

I read on GlennBeckFansUnite.ru that FIDE just changed the rules to make black go first because Barack Obama threatened military action.

*sigh*

Only in Obama's America™.

Yes, and I read on your personal blog that because even though white has gone first FOREVER, this one time black gets to go first is enough to destroy America, is the reason for your homosexual dreams, will rape your daughter, will use the Shroud of Turin to wipe its butt with, and is going to enslave all white men and force them to watch while big strapping black men have their way with the white women.

Meh, the introduction to the slideshow goes on about brawn, but the slideshow itself seems to contain mostly American armoured/padded wankballers. Couldn't find anyone with real brawn?

I'm not sure you got the joke. Or I didn't get your joke. If it's the former, I'm sure you'll claim the latter.

Ph.D. in sports science? Really? I mean, it's not like it's a *real* Ph.D.

Bondith: Ph.D. in sports science? Really? I mean, it's not like it's a *real* Ph.D.

Sports science can be a lot of stuff, including pretty heavy duty stuff like bio-mechanics. It isn't necessarily fluff.

9AM Advanced left hook.
10AM History of the rope-a-dope.
11AM Quantum Bleeding

Yeah, these guys are PhDs like the old Red Army hockey players were riflemen.

I just have a BS in a similar field and I had college bio, chem, organic, exercise phys, A&P, biomechanics, microbiology, cell structure and fuction, ect.

However, it depends on the institution. They could be fluff if the college sucks.

But he's best remembered for the activist causes that got him in trouble with the likes of anti-communist fearmonger U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy.

*Sigh*. It wasn't just "activist causes" (and shouldn't a magazine website be written in passable English?). Paul Robeson was a very smart dude, but he was also a warm and enthusiastic admirer of Joseph Stalin.

This guy was easily overlooked, but after watching Any Which Way You Can, i wanted to look up Bill Smith to see his age and career. I found out he TOTALLY should have made the list.

check out his stats at his IMDB page here:William Smith (new window)

Lewis gets in for a chess rating of 2000? Really? 2000? At 2000 you can still get into a restricted rating group at larger tournaments.

2000 would make him the 60th best player in Alabama, assuming that Canadian ratings were in line with US ones. (CFC website indicates that Canadian ratings are about 50 points high, so around 1950 in the US. Incidentally, the CFC's website sucks, and has no player look-up functionality.)
