This 20-sided die unearthed in Egypt reportedly dates from between 300 and 30 BCE, and is now being kept in New York's <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections/100008377?img=0" target="_blank">Metropolitan Museum of Art</a>. This proves that the Egyptians (or their Greek masters during the Ptolemaic Era) played Dungeons and Dragons long before us!</div>

Marge Simpson was originally designed to be an anthropomorphized rabbit. She still is in The Simpsons arcade game as you can see her hairdo was intended to cover up massive bunny ears. Creepy!<br />

<a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2012/01/man_who_swung_light_sabers_at.html">OregonLive.com</a> reports David Allen Canterbury entered his local Hayden Island Toys-R-Us after 9am on December 14, armed himself with two lightsabres, and began attacking other customers. When police arrived to arrest him, he successfully blocked a police taser with one of the lightsabres. Neat!<br />
<br />
Before a judge, Mr Canterbury apologized to those injured, and stated he had been seeking mental health treatment. Hayden Island is part of Portland, Oregon, and not named after Mr. Christensen.
