Nick Helm's password joke is Edinburgh Fringe funniest[^]. I thought numbers 5 and 10 the funniest.

Do you study chess? Could you please suggest me a good book for starting?
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke
[My articles]I don't use books myself, but I suggest you get some good training software. Chess mentor is a series of challenges, covering all aspects of the game in depth from complete newb, through tactics to advanced strategic concepts. It's expensive, but contains about a thousand pages of theory to explain all the challenges, so it's worth more than 10 books imo. You learn 99% of the game by practicing tactics, which you can do for free here. Furthermore you need a strong chess engine like Fritz and Rybka; it can analyse the games you played and give you clues on where you went wrong. It usually comes with a giant database with a lot of games you can study and an opening book for reference. Finally, hit the chess Youtube channels. Jerry from the ChessNetwork for example has a series of strong games which he analyses with you in 30 minute video's as well as playing blitz games with live commentary. There are some others, but I can't remember the from the top of my head. You can really learn a lot from those people.
Giraffes are not real.

I made it a goal to perform there someday. I am glad to see a local funnyman made the top 3 (#3 Buress), however, it is not a great joke.
