Greetings

In a week where multiple researchers announced they found a bug in the web page developing language PHP which left up to 75% of webpages vulnerable to attack, when a Russian-excavated "pizza peel" from the 11th century was found to have a Nine Men' Morris board carved into one side, and when an Irishman who lost his wedding ring in an Italian mountain stream received text from searchers who said, “Hi Sméagol, look what we found!” and then flew to Ireland dressed as hobbits to return it, we're still talking games here at Meeple Mountain.
