The game also comes with 60 minute speed play rules, in case you want to avoid playing Monopoly for 5 hours in a row. Besides the rules, the set also includes:

6 Collectible tokens
28 Title Deed Cards
16 COMBAT cards
16 HONOR cards
2 Dice
32 Outposts
12 Capitals
1 Pack of Klingon Forces

The tokens, as well as all the other elements, are Star Trek related, fact that should not surprise anyone. More precisely, the included tokens are: Captain’s Chair, Klingon Gavel, Disruptor, Bat’leth, K’k tahg, and Bird of Prey. As you can see, the set does not differ much from the original, with the main difference being the theme. The gameplay has not been altered, either, being the same as the original Monopoly. Klingon Monopoly is played in 2 to 6 players, aged 8 years or more.

World's most powerful camera captures 8 billion year old starlight

Quote:

Last week, a group of scientists from around the world announced that they'd captured first light with a brand-new, 570 megapixel device known as the Dark Energy Camera, built in a mountaintop observatory in Chile to conduct the Dark Energy Survey, a five-year quest for the most complete survey of the sky ever attempted.

So what's the goal? Well, the Dark Energy Camera—a phone booth-sized device made up of more than 60 highly sensitive components—is out to probe the mysteries of dark energy, a mysterious force that we know very little about but which might be the reason our universe is expanding at an accelerated rate.

The camera can see light from 100,000 galaxies in one shot, and by studying images of galaxy clusters, supernovae and other cosmic phenomena, the DES team hopes to find out more about how dark energy influences the movements of the universe.

Exciting stuff.

I liked Doc as a villain, but I can't argue with those other two points. Both of those were questionable decisions at best.

Government nuked beer to make sure we could still get drunk after WW3

Quote:

Two bombs were set off in Nevada, one "with an energy release equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT," and the other with 30 kilotons. Other than some cans and bottles which were broken or destroyed in the subsequent explosion, the remainder looked just fine.

But looks aren't enough, so some poor soul was tasked with the responsibility of taste testing. Don't worry, though. They checked to see if the cans and bottles were radioactive and, well, the radiation "did not carry over to the contents." So that's a victory, right?

I know what you're saying—what about the taste, man? Will I still taste those citrusy notes and a hint of chocolate in my micro-brew? The short version is "maybe." You will probably also sense a hint of something else. Not sure what a radioactive wasteland tastes like, exactly, but this might be it since it was recorded that the drinks nearest to the blast were reported as being "definitely off."

So the news is both good and bad. You won't die if you drink your irradiated canned and bottled booze, but it's probably going to be a bit skunked.

So, now that we've got that figured out...

a group of researchers is now proposing the creation of a large cloud of dust in space that would reduce solar radiation by 1.7 percent.

Andrew Basiago tells Komo News that he was part of a secret experiment that used kids to travel through time, and that he's made dozens of trips back in time. According to Basiago, Project Pegasus operated with 140 kids and 60 adults (including his father) shooting around the timelines, and he's on a mission to expose the experiments to the masses.

In fact, during one probe, the one to Gettysburg, the Gettysburg Address, I was dressed as Union bugle boy. I was physically at Gettysburg.

So...
