Chess Boxing, Cricket Monopoly and other New Sports
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines boxing with chess in alternating rounds. The sport began when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional depictions by French comic book artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal, organized actual bouts. Chess boxing is now growing in popularity. Participants must be both skilled boxers and chess players, as a match may be won either way.
A match consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess. The match begins with a four-minute chess round. This is followed by three minutes of boxing, with rounds of chess and boxing alternating until the end.[1] There More >
The Origin of Swimming
Swimming was invented in the days of Moses.
Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea with an army of Egyptians in pursuit.
The sea waters split allowing the fleeing Israelites a safe passage across and the Egyptian soldiers wondering how to follow them.
-
“Wise Pharaoh.” asked one of the officers, “How should we advance?”
“Swim” answered the Pharaoh, impatiently.
“I beg your pardon sir”
“Swim, tell them all to swim”
-
Without further ado the entire Egyptian brigade jumped into the rough sea waters and drowned.
-
“Sire” said the wise adviser to his ruler, “perhaps we should have given them lessons first.”

Sumo Wrestling – It’s over before you can say the competitor’s name
Sumo wrestling must be one of the fastest sports in the world. Not in the way it is played – squash is a much more obvious choice, but in the time the fight actually takes – a long one might last up to 30 seconds. This can make it hard for western sport commentators to deal with. A few facts before I proceed:
The two contestants, known as rikishi, wear a silken loincloth called the mawashi and colorful silk glue enforced strings that bounce up and down. More happens in the minutes of preparation than in the fight itself. The senior More >
Workout world
I wake up in the morning
Run off to the gym.
A bit confused why if I work out
I’m always staying in.
I walk for the best part of an hour
But I never leave my place
And yet the girls that jog beside me
I most truly race
—
.I run in circles getting nowhere
Display my muscles through my sportswear
While all along I know it’s not fair
I’m well out of my league.
The guys have all been cloned from Rumbo
The girls all jump around like Dumbo
While I’m a copy of Columbo
Overcast with fatigue.
—
I move over to the stepper
And I begin my climb
The guy beside More >
The High Heel Marathon
Not everyone gets to participate in the Olympics or even the New York Marathon, what about all the fashion conscious women around who wouldn’t be caught dead without a pair of high heeled Pradas. For these fine women, and the occasional man (see below), the high heel marathon was invented.
