    A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day.
    "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive.
    In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

    A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

    Cheers

    Field Marshal Lord Reachy:

    Yeah. Right On!

    Taking a break from your British perspective article on live tournament play?

    Or demonstrating how the theory of numbers can intrude on all aspects of life?

    With the exception to every rule, or excuse me, that's "Variance."
