The World Chess Federation does anti-doping tests on players!

The World Chess Federation along with the International and National Olympic Committees all want everyone to play fair.




They take extra measures to make sure the sport of chess is a fair and clean game upheld by the greatest integrity. They encourage and work to ensure the health of all their competitors.




So, they do drug tests on players when they want to. They accepted the World Anti-Doping Code and it's International Standards.




The spirit of sport is the essence of Olympism and is described as the celebration of the human body, spirit, and mind.




It is characterized as the ethics, health, character, fun and joy, education, courage, self-respect, and so on of sports.




The World Chess Federation seek to uphold the spirit of sport, and by doing so, they do anti-doping tests. So, even if you play chess, and no physical sport, you'll still be checked for drugs.

Robert Downey Jr. claims Burger King saved his life from his drug addiction.

Robert Downey Jr. claims Burger King saved his life from his drug addiction.

If you've seen Iron Man enough, you might have caught the Burger King product placement.




While product placement isn't exactly a rarity anymore (in fact, it's only going to increase in movies in the coming years), the deal to have Burger King in Iron Man was actually spawned because of how it saved Robert Downey Jr.'s life.




According to RDJ, in 2003 he was driving a car full of drugs when he decided to go grab a burger.




The burger he had was, apparently, exceptionally disgusting. So repulsive was the burger that he thought something really bad was going to happen.




It made him rethink where his life was going, and so he drove down to the ocean and threw all the drugs that were in his car into it.




From that point forward, he started recovering from his drug use. Of course for Burger King it's a bit of a double edged sword, because though it's advertisement by a celebrity, a "horrible burger" doesn't really resonate that well with people.

The Lion King was considered a B-movie while the better team worked on Pocahontas!

The Lion King was considered a B-movie while the better team worked on Pocahontas!

For the longest time, The Lion King was the top animated movie of all time. It is undoubtedly one of the most classic masterpieces of animation history. Pocahontas, while great in it's own regard, not quite so.




However, you wouldn’t have gotten that answer if you asked the Disney animators in 1991, when they had a choice of working in either. Both movies started production at about the same time, and most animators decided for Pocahontas.




As a result, most of the lead animators on Lion King were doing their first work supervising a character or just were interesting in animating an animal.




In the end, both movies were successful and critically acclaimed, but I think we can all agree that The Lion King was the better of the two.

What Does The Fox Say?

Honestly, I truly and with all my heart don’t give a shit what the fox says. I’d rather puncture my own ears out than hear that garbage. He says “show me the Carfax.” How ’bout that? Just as stupid right? Exactly. I hate people.
