Review: No Crack Hand Cream

I recently came across an Ebay listing for "No Crack Hand Cream." In the title it says "Try it once[;] you won't be disappointed." I must, however, take issue with this. For years, I have been using a variety of hand¹ cream that did  in fact contain crack. As you probably have guessed, I can type 300 words per minute as a consequence. Granted, most of what I type is pure drivel. As for the piano, I play a mean² piano. I can wear down a piano in about a week--right down to the ground.

That said, when I found the listing, I couldn't imagine not being disappointed with a crack-free variety of hand cream. And yet, disappointed I wasn't. Perhaps this was because I never bothered to buy the filthy stuff. Or, perhaps it was because, at the time, I was far to erotically engaged to be of any use to anyone, let alone a dealer of hand creams. But this is the subject of another post.

Review: Chess

According to www.chess.com, chess is 99% tactics. It appears that www.chess.com is run by a couple of chess masters. But then the question is: how did they become  chess masters? Most likely, it revolves around a clever long-term strategy: a strategy of convincing everybody else that chess is all about tactics rather than strategy.
