What is it about chess and prodigies? Norwegian player Magnus Carlsen won the World Chess Championship on Friday at just 22.

Dubbed the "Harry Potter of chess" by Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov, Carlsen's win over Indian title holder Viswanathan Anand means he also holds the title for the highest rating of all time.

However, Carlsen didn't break all the records, he just missed out on being the youngest champion ever. Garry Kasparov still gets to keep that record for winning when he was just a few weeks younger than the Norwegian prodigy.

Carlsen shouldn't feel too bad. He gets to pocket 60 percent of the $2.4 million prize fund from the match.

text: It was only a matter of time.

Toronto's scandal-plagued, blustering Mayor Rob Ford finally got the parody treatment when a trailer was posted to YouTube for "The Rob Ford Movie," starring Chris Farely.

The trailer manages to use clips of the late comedian's movies that eerily line up with the mayor's erratic actions over the past few weeks.

In just three days the parody trailer has already been viewed over a million times.

Even Farley's brother, Kevin Farley, approved of the dream casting.

"I think it's safe to say that my brother would have crushed playing the Rob Ford guy on SNL," Farley wrote on his twitter account.
