Yes, I have seen the fossil man

No, I don't think so. If it is, then so is chess.

I don't really think Chess is a sport, but there is a distinction. In poker, there is a (pretty good) chance that there is no way you can win a hand, since that's all you can do is take the hand given to you, especially if no betting is involved. In chess, you have control over your destiny.

If you took away the cards, it would be called sitting and smoking.

Right about thinking nobody else would vote that, but wrong on the question.

If you took away the ball, it'd just be a group of men in pyjamas standing around in a field.

there's still swinging a bat and running the bases. you can at least go thru the motions of baseball without the ball, but you can't do anything in poker without cards.

Wouldn't that be swinging the bat and jogging the bases? If you were using an imaginary ball, wouldn't every swing of the bat be a home run?

Everyone would have pocket aces.
