IO Bool means "an action that can perform IO and returns a Bool". You can't get a Bool without performing IO with that function, so you can't get a Bool from a "IO Bool"; indeed you can write your own action wich uses the function and its result. This action will "eventually perform IO", and so it will be IO <something>. see: http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/ThatAnnoyingIoType and read the gentle introduction as Derek Elkins told you.
