Guard Dog Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Walrus takes a nap on an iceberg and wakes up in Ireland I hope he doesn’t feel too bad about it. After all haven’t we all gone out drinking and passed out in one place and woke up in another in our younger years? The story didn’t say anything about him waking up next to a overweight and less than attractive walrus whose name he didn’t remember but it definitely would fit in the story!

Guard Dog Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 The great thing about derringers is they never misfire.

Chess computers do make certain moves that you just kind of expect. I guess if you played enough human and computer opponents you learn to spot the difference.
