5 Things You Didn't Probably Know About Monopoly On November 5, 1935, Parker Brothers began marketing the board game “Monopoly,” and has sold more than 250 million games around the world. Here are five facts you probably didn’t know about this board game played around the world... A Version of the Game Was First Developed in 1903 Charles Darrow is credited with developing Monopoly in 1933, but it was based on an earlier version made by Elizabeth Magie, who named it “Landlord’s Game.” Her game never quite caught on, so Darrow made his own version using oilcloth to cover the board and handwritten cards. He used wooden scraps for the houses and hotels and took his game to Parker Brothers. Parker Brothers Initially Rejected the Game When shown the game, Parker Brothers turned it down. Some of the many reasons given were the theme, the difficulty of playing it, and the length of time it took to play. Because it became successful locally, the company decided to take another look at the game and struck a deal with Darrow. Even though the Great Depression was going on, the new game sold like crazy. The company had to produce 35,000 copies each week during the first year after its release in 1935. The Original Tokens Were Inspired by a Charm Bracelet Darrow’s niece provided the inspiration for the game tokens with her charm bracelet. The original pieces were the cannon, top hat, iron, thimble, shoe, and battleship. As some of these pieces became obsolete, they were replaced. The newest pieces included with the game are the top hat, cat, battleship, car, rubber ducky, penguin, and a Tyrannosaurus rex. The Game Provided a Surprising Use During World War II The secret service in Britain used Monopoly games during World War II to smuggle POWs supplies to escape. Posing as charities, they shipped the packages to their prisoners, and apparently the Germans never noticed they were anything but boxed games to keep the prisoners amused. The boxes contained handy items to use when escaping such as a file and compass that served as playing pieces, a map concealed inside the board, and banknotes hidden underneath the colorful Monopoly money. Surprising Records Have Been Set by Monopoly Devotees Some people may know that the current record for a Monopoly game is 70 days straight, which works out to 1680 hours, but there are other records that have been set by Monopoly players. The longest game played underground was 100 hours long, the longest game played while in a bathtub was 99 hours, and players were even up in a treehouse playing for 286 hours. In 2012, three young men from Philadelphia set a record for balancing a Monopoly game for 2 minutes 43.61 seconds on top of their heads.

Would you do me another favor, stop using EGW and taking her words out of context. Let me say this very clear. If politically YAHWEH want him to stay and all the hearings will be mute. I have no control over that and neither do you! I don't come here to talk about him politically you do and you have the problem. If you would actually look at what she said she was referring exactly to your president. But people like you cannot tell the difference between political and spiritual so I understand. We need prayer! Take Care!

That's where you are not correct, I stated his immoral action as you did Clinton or Nixon. They both did immoral sins: they lied, Clinton committed adultery and Nixon stole. That is breaking the Moral Law. Now, there is one who is totally corrupt, which has nothing to do with his political views at all. He lies, cusses, cheats on all three of his wives, he hates, and he said he would kill. What is political about that? Nothing! Here is the problem I see, it is all right to have a person to do corrupt things because he is a Republican but not so with Clinton because he's a Democrat? That is ridiculous sin is sin! To tell you the truth I like Nixon he did some good things for minorities. But the Bible said be sure your sins will find you out and it did with him, Clinton and the man who says blasphemy things. What we are not to speak out about his sins because he's the president? Well if the Bible can speak out about kings that sinned, surely we can and you all do only if they are Democrats. But woe to us who speak out what the man in the WH is doing wrong that has nothing to do with politics at all. I am truly tired of it and I going to call sin by its right name! You know I have commented on Clinton here in this forum and I do not take up for anyone, I don't care who it is including me. If you wrong and go against YAHWEH'S Law then I will speak out. Please stop making out that just because you like him politically and look over his immoral acts that I have to tread softly. Not anymore! Please do me a favor show me is his sins different then others? Do he walk around with golden sins and others can be condemn and not him? WRONG! That's the main problem you all let him get away with his sins because of your own political posturing and not me. It sad you condemn the whole world but not one man who does nothing but corrupt things! Go figure! My party does not come before my faith! I don't agree with everything in any party. But, I accept more of the views of the Democrat, that has nothing to do with the Bible or sin! I come here to stand up for truth even when I fail! So please stop accusing me of politic about this man when out clearly point out his immoral act! Thank You! Blessings!

pardon our iniquity ? Exo 34:9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
