Nerd News: Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Play Chess Against Hot Chicks

This is hilarious.  Way to go, Swedish researchers who figured out that guys find gorgeous babes distracting and so their chess game suffers because they're too busy gawking or whatever.  People actually got grant money for this?  OK, bonus points for giving their study a cool title: "Beauty Queens and Battling Knights: Risk Taking and Attractiveness in Chess."   Heh.  Well, the Russians seem to be good at this.
