To Say Nothing Of The Dog by Connie Willis.

Extremely funny, takes place in bureaucratic future England and prim and proper Victorian England, but the main characters are anything but businesslike.

So sexism is an emotion now? As in, "Gee, I'm feeling sexist today"?

Anyway, near the bottom of the article came this quote (referring to why she doesn't just trim her nails): "It's the machine's job to accommodate its users, not the other way around,"

Um, no. Not even close. You have to learn how to program your TiVo, you have to practice with your speech-to-text software, and if your deodorant give you a rash, then dammit, you might have to try a different brand.

Amazing how words like "lost" and "undiscovered" are thrown around now, when the original story only mentioned "uncontacted".

They are not the same. There are lists of uncontacted tribes, but you can't make a list of undiscovered tribes.

Never been to Pittsburgh, but would love the chance!

Only thing I can suggest is... maybe a few more flash games? (I do have an idea for a collaboration if you're interested in going down that route)

Johnny Cat - I would think that St. James Place would be the most commonly landed on property, and here's why: There are more ways to end up in Jail than any other spot on the board, so that makes Jail the most common space to start your turn. With 2 dice, the most common roll is 7. Starting from Jail, that would put you on Community Chest, which is not technically a "property". Next most common would be 6 (St. James Place) and 8 (New York Ave). However, there is a card (I think) that tells you to go to the Reading RR, making Reading slightly more common of a starting place than most other spaces. St. James Place is within 12 of Reading, but New York is not, so St. James Place has the slight edge.
