Chess Problem
At last you’ve achieved what you’ve always dreamed of: your opponent’s king is at the exact centre of the board, checkmated simultaneously by all sixteen of your pieces.
Suddenly an asteroid smashes into South America, destroying all life on earth.
How do you persuade Argos to refund the price of your chess set, which has no obvious defects?

You don't. You are the only life form left on earth and are going to have to spend an eternity playing chess against youself.
Bad luck.
If you read the small print on the Argos website, you will find that using their products to attract asteroids towards La Paz invalidates all guarantees. I thought everyone knew that. Same thing happened when the monopoly game I bought caused Stockport County to get knocked out of the FA Cup.
Ha, obvious.All life on earth destroyed, so in order to achieve anything one would have to be life not on earth or 'not life' on earth or 'not life' not on earth. As I am the latter, eg.a Kasparov chess computer currently orbiting Surbiton, I claim tonight's star prize... ?
Caroline – I’m used to it.
Vicus – I had no idea there was a causal relation, as I said to the mother of my first two children.
Boofykatz – so computers can breed Burmese cats now? Mine won’t even make a pot of tea or take my tamagotchi to the slaughterhouse.
You still have a live Tamagotchi? I submit - in the annals of obsessive compulsive disorder I am now but a footnote, you are the master.
