it is spell check, checkers is a board gane

[Crossy]

it is spell check, checkers is a board gane

Ah, but in this case "checkers" is referring to 'people who check' and so is correct

Meanwhile, I think you'll find the board game is called draughts.

These two posts are demonstrating perfectly that the OP is 100% correct and therefore is not a joke and should be in 'forum support'

[ashacat]

Do you mean "board game"?

Doctors remove lightbulb from man's ass

On Wednesday, Fateh Mohammad of Multan, Pakistan underwent surgery to have a lightbulb removed from his rectum. The prison inmate says he has no idea how it ended up there. From Reuters:

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.

"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."

Bethlem was founded in 1247 as a priory. It was built just outside the north walls of the City of London, just east of Bishopsgate, on land owned by a City merchant Simon FitzMary. FitzMary gave the land to the monks of St Mary of Bethlehem, to found a priory
