World’s Largest Scrabble Game Is A Handcrafted Work Of Art
Someone asked me the other day if I thought Scrabble was a geek's game. I thought about it for a moment and said, "Not really, it's more like a smart person's game."

Remember the good old days? Those days when you would sit in the back garden, digging a giant hole? I do. I was digging to China. It's probably good that I never made it.
