"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.".............
Dan Quayle

An ancient Chinese game called spillikins was played with 30 slender ivory sticks, intricately carved with unique symbols and figures. Each stick had a different point value, and players used a thin, hooked stick to carefully move sticks from a pile. Sound familiar? Trade ivory for plastic, skip the fancy carving and the hooked stick, and you've got pick-up-sticks.

How about "Chinese Checkers", which really came, not from China, but from the Scandinavian game of Halma? tjoeb};>
