I whooped it

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing


Good job, Jeremy. You should be proud.


Speaking of proud, a couple people can be proud of themselves for solving yesterday's little puzzley thing. Although Evil Jeremy's solution was perfectly valid, it wasn't quite what I was going for.


So how's it done?


With runners on 1st and 2nd base, the batter hits a fair popup, and is immediately called out via the Infield Fly Rule (1). While the ball is in the air, the runner on first takes off and overtakes the runner on second base and is called out (2). The fly ball comes down hits the runner on second base, and he is out by interference (3). It takes a couple of brain-dead moments for this to happen, but by rule, it is possible.


In keeping with the theme to today's Sametime Status, here's an amusing intro to the Drew Carey show featuring "The Gates" by DaVinci's Notebook. Happy Friday everyone!

Perhaps you should try chess boxing?
