Hmm... what about Metalheadopoly?
Haha, as a metalhead, I say that would 0wn!

"Dark Lord Galder has taken your soul, and your wallet (chain included), lose £60! MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Or:

"Due to a misunderstanding, Varg Vikernes has stabbed you to death. Game over."

"After your band changes their musical style, your core fans denounce you as a sellout. You lose $80."

BTW - very nice to know that there's fellow metalheads on this forum... I've had plans for a headbanger usergroup, but they're never going anywhere.

Gayopoly? It's a miracle that it doesn't exist yet.

Gayopoly does exist. I remember Kojikun posting a thread about it just before the summer.

There have been a lot of rumors, rumors I've read on websites, that
MLK wasn't exactly the nice little choirboy we've all been led to believe.

His FBI file was sealed until 2027, and there have been allegations by
a reverend who was MLK's closest associate, Ralph D Abernathy, on
MLK's behavior. Abernathy was the guy who ran up and cradled King's
head after he was shot in Memphis, TN at that hotel.

"And the Walls Came Tumbling Down: An Autobiography" is the title.

A unbiased site on this is: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030502.html

Did he spend donated money on prostitutes? The most sordid charges about MLK's sex life, this one included, come from the FBI and can't necessarily be trusted. But there's no doubt about what one biographer calls King's "compulsive sexual athleticism." King's attitude toward women was chauvinist and often exploitative. In his 1989 autobiography, And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, King's close friend and fellow civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy writes that on the night before he died, King gave a rousing speech, had dinner with a woman afterward and remained with her till 1 AM, then came back to his motel to spend the night with a second woman. In the early morning hours a third woman came looking for King and became angry when she found the bed in the room he shared with Abernathy unoccupied. When King reappeared, he argued with woman #3 and wound up knocking her across the bed.

and

Did he plagiarize most of his writings? He plagiarized a lot of them. An investigation conducted by Boston University, where King got his Ph.D. in theology, determined that he had appropriated roughly a third of his doctoral thesis from a dissertation written three years earlier by another graduate student. Curiously, the same faculty member had been "first reader" of both theses, leading some to wonder whether King's faculty advisers at BU were incompetent or just guilty white liberals who gave a promising young black leader a pass. King also "borrowed" portions of many other writings and speeches, including the famous "I have a dream" speech he gave at the 1963 civil rights rally in Washington.
