For starters, how about New Zealand winning the 2011 Rugby World Cup at the expense of France.

I vote for god. Both in the winner and loser category for 2011. Believers thinking their life has purpose because of god and non-believers blaming religion based on god for so many of the worlds conflicts.

I vote biggest winner, US of A, for being the best country on Earth!
Biggest loser, that's easy, France, because they're France. 😛

Judas takes both awards in my book. If it wasn't for Judas, then we wouldn't have easter eggs now, would we?! No betrayal, no crucifiction etc. SO kudos on that point.
On the other hand, guy would sell his granny. So superficial dude.

Oh wait a second, didn't the church steal the idea of this festival from pagans?

Right, I'm lost, I give up.

Any big winners or losers in the topsy turvy world of professional chess during 2011?

I used to believe in God. Then one day i saw an African tribe with a constructed Icon of a bi-plane,and as they looked into the sky,none flew over. That was the biggest revelation of my life, they were worshiping ths plane....thats when it occured to be that it was time for Allah, Buddah,,And J.C to take a hike, we are bigger than all that......

I cannot resist its soft silky glow. It is my second weakness after beer. As you can imagine, I live a really healthy life style.

Some 'chocolate' products are chocolate in name only, containing low cocoa bean percent and chock full of chemicalized

colorings and synthetic emulsifiers. Ugh! Hardly the genuine article crafted by a World Class Professional Chocolatier.

In Australia they have to call it "choc" because they're not allowed to use the word "chocolate" for their chemical imitations.

And where would you place a classic like Hershey's Chocolate? I would go so far as to call it America's Chocolate.

Sure it doesn't have 90% cocoa, or whatever. But it's America's Chocolate.
