The longest Monopoly game played underwater was 45 days long.

Now that was truly useless (I hates Monopoly)!

The answer to the "Monty Hall Problem" is always to switch to the unselected choice.

Hmm . . . Monopoly in a bathtub, eh? I guess someone pulled the plug on that one.

That's because you've never played "Matt's Metal Monopoly".

My wife found a Monopoly Kit that you can customize. Everything - the spaces around the board, Chance & Community Chest cards, money and playing pieces.
We created a "Metal Music" theme and gave it to my daughter's boyfriend for his birthday. He's a hard rock hound. It's a hoot to play - especially if you fire up some accompanying tunes.

Monopoly again:
In 1995, the space shuttle had a set of cards from non-flammable paper on board - it is now in a museum in Washington

I haven't taken a picture of the elephant.

That'll teach me!

I loathe Monopoly too and will always just be the banker.

Right now McDonald's has their Monopoly promotion going here, you can even buy some items with Monopoly money at selected stores on selected days.

A "Fat Boy" is a shorter, square and double thick ice cream sandwich - they are great.

They are named for their size, but could be named for what they've done to me

I can see everyone asking Mr. Google about the Monty Hall problem.

Clara Ma, a 12 year old at the time, won the right to name the current Mars robot for her prize-winning essay "Curiosity" a little while back. I love her essay.

Contrary to rumors circulating here in Canada, the Queen of England is not abdicating in favor of her grandson, William.

The confusion arises because the Queen of the Netherlands has announced that she will abdicate in favor of her son, Willem-Alexander.

Oh.....I was wondering what that was all about!

Thanks Kevin!
