Interesting. According to Google Armand Rousso is not only friends with Kasparov and Karpov, but he is a highly successful entrepreneur widely regarded as responsible for the first ever Internet e-commerce business, the International Stamp Exchange. It's strange though that of the literally thousands of different hits Google brings up about this guy, not one of them seems to be a reputable source.

Do you think he has used spam like that in the OP to fabricate this famous persona, or is he a genuinely successful entrepreneur using spam to make an even bigger name for himself and/or lubricate the news channels for an upcoming business venture?

Or something else?

I don't believe most know that Alexander The Great's lover was killed by a chicken, nor how it happened, but no-one saw fit to ask or even express disbelief. Odd.

Doctor's can inject radioactive liquids into the body and use gamma ray detectors to trace them. The detectors build images that doctors can use to examine the inside of the body.

Doctors can inject radioactive liquids into the body and give their patients the proportionate strength and speed of a doctor. However the patient must first swear the hypocritic oath, "With Great Power Comes Great Opportunities For Profit." As an intiation test, the subject must wrestle Uncle Ben and steal his rice.

The only English word that applies to both men and women, but takes a different spelling for each is blond / blonde.

The American Heritage dictionary has them listed as the same definition and both spellings are considered correct, the blonde is the most common spelling in the US. Though this site (http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000275.htm) states

Blond or Blonde?

The words blond and blonde come from the French and follow somewhat the French pattern. Blond (without the e) is used to describe males, mixed gender, or uncertain gender. Blonde refers to women or female gender.

In modern use, blond is sometimes used for female as well as male, but blonde is preferred for female

So there is no specific correct usage.

What a pain in the ass.

If that doesn't work, you need to snake it, probably.

I have suspicions that "Armand Rousso" is a bilker, bunco, cheater, clip artist, con man, crook, deceiver, fleecer, flimflammer, fraud, hoser, hustler, mountebank, scam artist, scammer, shark, sharpie, smoothie, swindler, who specializes in artifice, baloney, bamboozlement, banana oil, bunco, chicanery, con, con game, cover up, cozening, deceit, deception, dirty pool, dirty trick, dodge, double-dealing, fake, fast one, fast shuffle, fix, flimflam, frame, fraud, gyp, hanky-panky, hoax, hoaxing, hogwash, hokum, humbug, hustle, imposture, jazz, jive, plant, put-on, racket, rip-off, run around, sell, shady deal, sham, shell game, skin game, snow job, spoof, sting, stunt, swindle, total shuck, trickery, whitewash.

But I don't have any proof that "Armand Rousso" is any of those things.
