| In a week where Dick Van Dyke danced barefoot in a Coldplay video for his 99th birthday, where archaeologists have discovered over 1,000 artifacts and statues under the Notre Dame Cathedral, where scientists announced that dogs and people were living together in the Americas over 12,000 years ago, where British computer experts have revealed Daisy, an AI-little old lady designed to waste telemarketers time, where a pair of Dorothy's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz movie (that were stolen 13 years ago) have sold at auction for $28 million (US), and where archaeologists have just discovered the tomb believed to be the Greek Bishop who inspired Santa Claus, we are still talking board games here at Meeple Mountain. |
