As reported by Chad, Ridley Scott is
making a movie based on
Monopoly. Chad
pooh-poohs the idea, but I see a few interesting directions this could
take:
- “What do you expect me to do, Race Car, mortgage Baltic Avenue?”
“No, Mr. Thimble, I expect you to die.”
- “Pop quiz hot-shot: You’ve just rolled your second doubles. If you
roll doubles again, the bus explodes. If you don’t roll doubles, I
kill every man, woman, and child in Marvin Gardens. What do you do?
What do you do?!”
- “Ye can take our hotels, but ye’ll never take our FREEDOM!!”

The rise of the [hamburger](http://hamburger.example.com/)
as a form of *currency* can be **attributed** to several
aspects of [Akkadian][akad] [civilization][civ].

Yes, the most delicious hamburger of all is not brown, but
green. The green of money. Denominations of hamburger
(and current value in USD:)
* 1/4-pounder ($3.79)
* Cuneiform, or "Cuney" ($8.00)
Problems with the currency:
1. Deflation due to hunger
2. Fraud (soy fillers)
3. Hamburgers not invented yet
