Interesting Fact of the Day

The board game, Clue, is distributed around the world, but it originated in England. As you probably know, Clue is about finding "clues" for a murder that may have happened in the library, with a knife, etc... The characters in Clue include a Miss Scarlet, a Colonel Mustard, a Mrs. Peacock, etc. The characters are all named the same in the various versions of Clue except for a character known as Reverend Green, who became Mr. Green in the U.S. version.

Apparently, U.S. citizens would not tolerate a Reverend as a possible suspect in a board game murder mystery.
