Chess Boxing (via Wikipedia)
“Chess boxing is a hybrid sport which combines the sport of boxing with games of chess in alternating rounds. Chess boxing fights have been organized since early 2003. The sport was started when Dutch artist Iepe Rubingh, inspired by fictional depictions of the sport in a comic by French comic book artist and filmmaker Enki Bilal, organized actual matches. The sport has become increasingly popular since then.” Fascinating.
"When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity before and after, and the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of space of which I am ignorant, and which knows me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there, why now rather than then."
— Blaise Pascal (via fuckyeahexistentialism)
