[Sportsandrec] Chess and body fat pct

[Joe Shaw]

Thanks for the confidence Ashley. I think everyone should have this test 
done and they put me in the computer so I can track where I am to where I 
go. Don't work up to it, like Nike said, "Just do it!" Warning though: the 
calipers do hurt a smidge.
"You put your right leg in" "You put your right leg out" "you put your right 
leg in and you shake it all about" "you do the hoky poky and you turn 
yourself around" "that's what it's all about" The Hoky Poky

>> Well kids I got the old body fat percentage read today. It was the test

>> As for chess, I have not played in years and have some difficulty with
