Because owls are reputed to be wise?

Hedwig? Are they snowy owls? It's the only time most kids will wear robes, so perhaps a Howarts reference.

Why do kids do anything? Might just be the thing for this year's class.

I'm going to play. I will do my very best to be timely. I do see you've been playing at a fast clip, so I will attempt to keep up.

Hope this day of the week thing turns out to be fun!

I thought you were making a joke, but now I think it is just an observation.

Glad BBB is playing, but I am also having to check my bank account!

Looks like the days of week testing is going great. Just have to make sure the accusations work right. I’m sure OnceDear is playing. He just hasn’t posted in this thread yet. I’ll set the game up in about 2 hours.

It's both a joke and observation. Almost every time you see a drawing or figure of an owl he is wearing a graduation cap. Optional are glasses, a graduation cape, and diploma. What is the evidence owls are smarter than any other bird? It is time to end this stereotype of owls as the brainiacs of the bird family.



Question for OD -- Is this just a stupid American thing or do owls have a propensity for wearing graduation caps in the the UK too?

In ocasional corney adverts, yes, to an extent, not always with graduation caps.

again, stereo-typically 'wise' but not necessarily scholarly

First order of business is older games have a new url in case anyone wants to review them : http://miplet.net/clue/oldgame41/ . Second is we now need to know the day the Murder takes place. All 7 days are used. There were 324 possible solutions; now there are 2,268. Everyone gets 4 cards. Don't forget to put them in your preferred order. Third is there may still be some errors. Please PM me if you notice any.

Here is the list of players for Game 42:
OnceDear (OD) as Scarlet
miplet (mip) as Mustard
odiousgambit (odg) as White
Dummy (Dum) as Green
Wizard (Wiz) as Peacock
beachbumbabs (bbb) as Plum
